Default fork spring spacers

does anyone know where i can get a pair of original spacers(the top ones) for my 1999sv650sx? Ive recently bought Hagon springs and then discovered the springs i was replacing werent the original suzuki ones(this is assuming the Hagon ones are a straight swap for the original Suzuki ones). Many thanks

I think people tend to make their own out of plastic pipe from B&Q and the like.

Why are you assuming the Hagons are a straight swap for the Suzuki ones? I'm 99.9% sure they are not. ergo first thing you should have done/be doing is to confirm(either via site or even better Hagon themselves) if the Springs are indeed a direct swap.

Secondly, if the Spring in there are not OE, it looks like someone had already changed(upgraded?) the springs, so you'd what to find out what they are.

Thirdly, folks might be able to help you make some money. A pic of those springs /spacers is needed. Also check the ends of the spring for any numbers etched/stamped there. They numbers would be the spring rate for the springs you've found in there.

PVC pipe needed is 'Schedule 40' . Easily bought from B+Q. I might have some here. Find out answers to what I've written above first.


Cheers
Ben
