fork tube spacer length
can someone please tell me the length of a stock for tube spacer on a 2011 street bob or any 49mm front end. i have a buddy trying to put his new dyna back to stock hight cuz someone put a burly slammer kit in it.
i gave him my old stock springs to trough in but we need the pvc length. i don't wanna pull mine apart if i don't have to.
thanks!!

With the bike on a lift, unscrew 1 fork cap. Drop your pvc down the tube. Mark it off at the top of the triple tree. You can adjust your preload buy the length of the spacers. Keep both the same length and you'll be OK.

thanks for the input guys.
i have rebuild mine a couple times over the last few years and i seem to remember they are maybe an inch taller than the fork tube when fully extended for preload. maybe more
