If the spacer acts the same as preload collars on a coil shock and do not limit suspension travel, how does the factory springs with spacers compare to the progressive spring with no spacers? It would be stiffer through more of the travel than the progressive spring which could allow a thicker oil for slowing rebound and offer suspension which would be stiffer through a broader range of the stroke, right?
The rear is boxed up and ready to go to Ron.

If you wanted fancy forks you can put these on, but they are pricey. Those footpegs are also popular.

Is standard 2" pvc pipe the material used to make spacers?

Yes you can use pvc pipe.
Here's one type of upside down forks some people have put on their 250r's, for sale on ebay.

Thank you for the help.
I am going to rebuild my stock forks and see how they feel. The inverted forks are very cool but that is a bit more than I want to spend on this area of my build.

The pegs are from WMD or Wicked Metal Designs, you can contact them thru the facebook link below. If you do not have a facebook account, I can contact them for you. I don't know if they make the guards or not. If they don't I can ask the owner of the bike who makes them if you want.

I would think that other companies like possibly HRE ATV make pegs and guards for the 250r also, however, since I am actually a Kawi guy, because...(wait for it)........The Tecate Is The Most Powerful 3 Wheeler In The Universe...and does not need aftermarket parts to make it "raceable", I don't know much about what is available for the 250r and other honda vehicles.

A spacer takes up any free play and can be cut to length to get the preload you desire.
I just took the black plastic for caps off and found this on one side. How bad is it?

Yeah, that’s not good. What was holding the plastic cap on? It is supposed to screw onto the top of the valve stem via the external threads on the stem, but I dont see any remaining. Is the rest of the valve stem still inside the plastic fork cap? If the valve stem’s internal threads are still intact, and you can screw in a new schrader valve, you might be able to salvage that fork cap, or I would start searching for a new/used one.
