A friend will be helping me install mine tomorrow. \\; Does the PVC pipe go into the forks and stay in? \\; My buddy works at the dealership and that's the way it looks from the directions and he has never heard of such a thing.
Put the flat stel washer in on the spring then the plastic pipe after it is cut to the right length for pre load. The front wheel has to be fully extended off of the ground. Preload is important!
I got it taken care of. \\; I had the directions. \\; What they didn't say was that if you go 2" in the front you don't need the pvc pipe. \\; I ended up only going 1".
