As you probably know by now, that little spring goes in teh "hydraulic bottom out cone", the white plastic piece under the damper rod.

I have a few questions for you:

1) How many turns on the emulator screws did you use for preload? I used 2.5... The Traxxion Dynamics papers say "2 full turns for street, 3 for race, for track use or more low speed compression damping use alternate emulator hat supplied with emulators" (I did not receive any "alternate emulator hat", unless it's made of clear crystal and I can't see it)

2) Did you reuse all your bushings & seals? The haynes manual goes on about replacing half of them, but they look ok to me (and I don't have replacements) so I just reused the old ones. Is this ok???

3) I assume when you drop the emulators back into the forks, you drop them in with the long part of the screw/preload spring sticking UP. Please confirm - the directions do not say!

4) Traxxion sent me 1 liter of fork oil. I'm halfway done (one fork only) and to me it looks like there won't be enough oil to finish the other fork. Do you happen to remember if you used more than one liter? (assuming you filled to 110mm before springs inserted)

Thanks for the info. I finally had to carve up wooden broom handle and hold the other end of it in a vise... but I got it! W00t! Before midnight too ;-) ... at least the first side...
