Pretty straight-forward job on the bike, as detailed elsewhere. Couple of points that may help others.
The measured oil level (no springs in / legs compressed) is very close to the maximum allowed with these springs leaving too small an air gap and would give poor performance.
So, I extended the air gap by sucking out excess oil using the wifes meat baster on which I had marked the level required (in my case 170mm). I took about 50 mls out of each leg.
Spacers were cut to 2.75 inches leaving them exactly level with the leg top before screwing up.
The ride is much improved, having taken out most of the jarring associated with dips and bumps in the less than perfect roads around here.
