    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

so I'm rebuilding my forks, new seals (oil and dust), new circlips, and new oil. I also ordered the small shim looking washers, that suzuki calls the valve and valve spring. I ordered these parts from Ron Ayers, and never recieved them, they were crossed out on my order sheet, but I was still charged for them, anyone know what's going on with that?

Anyways, I've got enough parts for one fork, however for the other one, I don't have the flat valve shim, and I am wondering if I really need it, it seems like the fork would operate with out it.

Are these shims used for the normal up down operation of the fork, or are they parts of the anti dive units perhaps? which I've disabled with fabbed up plates.

I'm talking about parts 21 and 22.
 
I personally wouldn't leave out any parts. Is it possible to reuse the old ones or get a match locally somewhere?
 
the problem was I was tapping the fork tube on the ground (protected with a cloth, don't worry) and the shim fell out and got crushed, so I can't reuse that one. I was just wondering if it's nessecary without the antidive device
 
Shims

Shims

The flat shims sits under the damper rod between the outer and inner fork tubes and support the small alloy "cup" that slides in there. one wave then flat then wave shims. Not rteally sure what they do but if its factory have it there
