-2 Fork Tubes oil??
TheTroupe, that's interesting because I've used Belray 30wt and couldn't
tell the difference between that and HD heavy. Must be a Senior thing. Ha!
I do know one thing is that I found the perfect combination for the application
using the DBI kit for myself and my two Buds. I'm hoping will be the same for
beasleyiv.

That is bike on the ground, fluid in, pumped a few times, springs that came with the tubes with spacers. Just went out and rode, much more like normal. It will take a bit more riding to make sure all is good, but it is much better than without the spacers.

Great, you may be just fine.
Ideally you would set the pre-load spacer size to keep the initial sag to 1/2 of an inch up to 1 full inch. Then when you sit on the bit it should drop another 1/2 to 1 inch depending on your weight and and spring rate. for a bike with -2 tubes your is looking good.
