Progressive 412 Spacer Placement??
Hi guys, new to the forum. Put new progressive 11.5's on my 05 Sportster 883r this afternoon. Can someone confirm the rubber spacers go on the inside? up against the frame? sorry, the progressive instructions weren't super clear. Any pics would be helpful. For the life of me I can't get my pics to upload to show you my set up.
Many thanks!

The spacer installation simply requires a bit of common sense.
- use the spacers to get the shocks far enough out from the bike so that they aren't rubbing or hitting on anything, particularly the belt guard.
- pick the spacer size (top and bottom) so that the shock winds up parallel to the bike, not cocked at an angle.

+1 what cHarley said....
had the same question when i did mine; agree the instructions could be much better; finally went at it and used common sense....
i remember using one rubber spacer in the inside and the other in the outside...also used a couple of the washers...got them parallel with the bike
if by tomorrow you haven't figured it out, i'll confirm checking out my bike...btw mine is a 06 1200r
