Firstly Hi all first message but long time user and SV owner (2002).
I am in exactly the same position as you. Bought new Hyperpro spring kit from JHS. Queried that 03 kit was sent for 01/02 model but James (JHS) told me this
is the kit JHS recommend.
Anyway got round to changing springs today and a bit worried when new spring was 130mm longer than old one. E-mailed James and he mailed back within 20 minutes saying that you have to cut down the spacer.
I was also adding pre-load adjusters so cut the spacer down by 130mm for spring and 18mm for adjusters. That left me a spacer length of just 50mm (so about 68mm if not fitting adjusters) but on reassembly the resistance on the fork cap was about the same. Bit of a fiddle cutting then filing the spacer down to correct size but do-able.
Have only managed one leg today so will do other tommorow before I can test ride to see if all is well.
Hope this helps
if not then e-mail James at
