I don't understand in your measurement it shows you cut the spacer roughly 8 mm sticking out of the top of the fork. But in your diagram it shows 7 to 10 mm below the top of the fork. Am I to assume that the fork is fully extended with the new spring in the new cut spacer sticking out roughly 8 mm and you have to push down on the cap to get it to thread? But when you were measuring it you were measuring above the top of the fork.
James M, the diagram is correct. The measurements of 7-10mm should be the space between the top of the spacer and top of fork. Sorry for the confusion.
Cyber dos yes that part is clearly stated in the video and thank you for that. But my question is is the top of the spacer supposed to be 10 mm above the top of the fork when you're finished or 10mm below the top of the fork when you're finished? Cuz in the picture of the diagram it shows the top of the spacer being roughly 10 mm below the top of the fork
James M, it is supposed to be below the top of the fork. The picture was taken with the measurements taken above the fork which is incorrect. After talking to Rick from Cogent he clarified and I made an additional cut. I just forgot to delete that image from the video. Sorry about that.
Cyber dos thank you! I assume you probably just draw a line on the spacer where it sits right at the top of the four tube and then measure 10 8 to 10 mm blow that line and then make your cut?
James M, to make things perfectly clear, when you have the forks fully extended you should not see the spacer sticking out. If it is, you are doing it wrong. :)
Andrés Mendoza the spacer length provides preload to the springs. That length is determined by the user. Cogent provides a recommended length but it is up to you if you want to change that preload according to your riding preferences.
Great video. Simply and straightforward.
That was some cool music.
Awesome music! What is it?? . Thank's for making such an informative video. That will be really helpful to reference. Happy trails!

6 years ago! Not. Thanks again.
How do the forks work now, are they worth the money?
Worth every single penny.
Where did you get that cool windshield?
Lol. I made it out of a trash bin.
Why you have to cut the spacers? The DDC kit is suppossed to made for custom clients

Oh yep. I just bought the DDC kit and the MOAB rear shock for my 2008 KLR. I hope to install it next weekend. Thanks!
why you no like battery charger?
