Auspanglish Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I believe they're officially called "Spring Collars" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted February 29, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted February 29, 2012 Sorry, dunno. But not real useful information except for use with OEM springs, methinks? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm thinking the Vtec is just shy of 6" maybe 148 mm or so. Sorry had them all mixed together and wasn't sure if it was a 5th or 6th gen spacer. BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspanglish Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have found only one reference to this on VFRD and the guy said it measured 10 cm... hope that's accurate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted March 30, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you are using 320mm long aftermarket springs then your original spring spacers are perfect - no need to make new ones. This applies only to the 02+ VFR800 by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SilverVee Posted April 2, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2012 2005 ,with abs if that makes a difference, exactly 10 cm. Just waiting for the rain to stop for more than just a day here in SW BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted April 18, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 18, 2012 Whatever you do, do not match the overall length of your stock springs and spacers. I realize that many instructions included with aftermarket springs will say to do this, but it's incorrect. If you have chosen the correct spring rate you will need 15-17mm of initial spring preload. In the case of the 02+ VFR's using 320mm long aftermarket springs a spacer length of 100mm (10cm) is exactly what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
