I got paranoid after doing the oil change, and opened up the fork again so I could get the opinion of someone who has done this before.

Is this put back together correctly, or did I put the pvc spacer on the wrong side. I did notice when I opened it back up that the preload on the eta side is much further down. I'm thinking that the spacer should be on the side with the shorter eta spring.

No more beer the first time I try to do something :)

Thanks!

I think you have it on the wrong side. The right (in the picture)preload adjuster is screwed down about 2 spacer lenghts farther than the left one. If you swap the spacer, they should be even. When you put the springs in, one should sink further into the stanchions than the other, that's the one that you want to put the spacer on.

I think you're right...I noticed that it was a lot harder getting the c-clip groove on the top of the HSCV side to come up when I was putting the caps back on, that's why I took it apart again in the first place.
