Fork Spacers?
OK....I'm a fairly portly fellow.
Nah - scratch that - I am rather rotund.
Nah - that doesnt quite fit, lets get real. I am A FAT BOY.
My forks on my FXD compress more than what I would like. Has anyone ever made spacers for their forks that go in on top of the springs?
I knew some guys who did that on dirt bikes before.

RE: Fork Spacers?
You can add the spacer which will increase your preload, but the forks may be harsh under full compression hits. If you add a short spring (like the rebound damper spring) on top of your stock spring you will add a more "foregiving" preload. The advice to contact Progressive is right on as they will have loads (no pun intended) of info on preload. You can also try Racetech.com. I have their lowering kit in my Road King forks (which utilize a combination of springs and their "Gold Valve" cartridge emulators) and it is a great performing suspension
