Question Progressive fork springs...Nightster install?

Any of you "N" guys done this? I opened my box and saw springs and what appeared to be 3" PVC spacers. I didn't notice any instructions or washers, but I was in a hurry. I'm wondering if Progressive alters oil quantity from what the factory service manual says. I also wonder how much of the provided spacer you guys used. I've read that some had to buy more PVC for 3.5" or more spacing. I am 6'2" 210 lb. and ride 2-up on occasion. I am going to run a 10wt. fork oil. Maybe I missed the washers that are suppose to ride on top of the spacer...but if not I will get some. How much of a bitch was it to reinstall the cap?

I emailed Progressive, but don't want to get caught up over the weekend with no support.

Hey... if you are planning on trying different fork oil weights... I recommend you get this:

that way you don't have to disassemble half of the front end just to change the oil...
