    Front shock spacers

    There is now way I am going to get the lower spacers in on the front shock mounts. They are simply too big. I was thinking I would use a stack of washers for the rear spacer on the lower mounts. Any suggestions out there?

    On my 818 I had similar problems... I use a belt wheel on my bench grinder to trim them down

    I have always just used a belt sander to trim as needed.
