Bough a set of these for my GP and they seem to be about 10mm too short when fully extended and the front wheel is off the ground - To fit I need to get someone slightly heavier than me to sit on the scooter. They are indian forks with, I assume, factory fitted brackets. Any thoughts? Do I fit them like this or not???

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm
I'll check when I get home.

So when you fit them and the scooters on it's stand the spring pressure will be on the dampers. I would check this out because something is not right.john.t5 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:10 pm Bough a set of these for my GP and they seem to be about 10mm too short when fully extended and the front wheel is off the ground - To fit I need to get someone slightly heavier than me to sit on the scooter.

Distance is 248mm
Yeah when on the stand they would be at full extension being forced apart by the springs.
