Ride Height Spacers - 5mm or ?mm $12 shipped each

I just had a friend at church cut and turn this to 1.75" OD by 5mm thick for me. I have enough material to make about 5 more.

They look a bit big in diameter in the picture, but that makes them easy to hold onto during installation & removal.

Sorry if you guys already have a source for these. Just trying to help with some extra material I have laying around....

PM me if you want one and I will send Paypal info.

Please be patient with me on the shipping, each one will be handmade, and I work a lot. I will do my best to ship as soon as I receive the part from the machinist.


Thanks!

How is that a preload spacer? It in no way "preloads" the spring, which is what a preload spacer would do..

It does seem to be a spacer used to raise the rear end of the bike up..
Is that what you meant?

deatons, those are great. Dont mind Eric, he just hates when things are misx-stated or mistakes are made.
I wish I had access to those before my engineering debacle when I made mine

Please note these should only be used with an otherwise stock suspension. It makes a bit of an improvement by masking some of the shortcomings of the stock parts. With a proper front and rear setup you should run stock to +3mm shock length max.

Hey, just got word from my machinist friend that he is setting up a new shop, and making it a business, so he wants a little more to get these done for me, plus he is a month out.

At this point I could probably get one done in October, but it would be about $20 shipped…

If anyone wants one please let me know.

Thanks!
James
