You first must remove most of the weight from the front wheel. You can do that with either a motorcycle jack under the bike, or a standard floor jack under the front of the frame, at the crossmember.

You want to take as much weight off the spring "C" as possible, but the wheel does not have to be off the ground. You can then remove the cap bolt "A", to get to the metal spacer "B". Be careful through this entire process not to spill out any of the fork oil.

Carefully measure and cut 7/8 inch off the end of each spacer. File the edge smooth and square with the spacer. Then thoroughly clean the spacer of any cuttings or file shavings before putting the spacer back into the shock tube.

--MOST IMPORTANT-- do not be in a rush to get the cap bolts back in and tightened down, or you may cross thread them. They are very fine threads, and made of aluminum, can damage easily, and permanently.

That's about all there is too it...do not cut more than 7/8" from the spacer tube....in doing so, you may remove too much, and the front shocks will bottom out at the slightest bump...making for a very uncomfortable ride.
