    Sonic Springs

    Has anybody that installed Sonic Springs ended up needing more of the plastic spacer than they provided?

    I had about 3x more PVC than I needed, but they were allot shorter springs than the stock ones for sure.

      Mine ended up being the exact amount I needed. I Just cut the tube in half.

        If you are short of PVC tube for whatever reason you can go to your local home reno/hardware store and buy more in the plumbing section for a couple $$.

          Well, as it turned out, this is exactly what I did too. Had the exact amount by cutting in half.

          Got it all back together and went for a ride. No more fork leaks! Awesome! Now on to addressing getting the carbs tuned up right.

            I've learned that Home Despot carries one foot and three foot lengths of various PVC pipe (I think it's their way of salvaging and selling the usable parts of damaged pipe). Very handy when you don't need eight feet of the stuff hanging around the garage.
