I can't find this stat anywhere online. Anyone happen to know what it should be?
With the JS Motorsports anti-top-out sleeves installed, I'm getting ~5"/130mm absolute max travel between slider and stanchion (forks dry, tops off, no springs installed; see red paint marks in photo). Just wanted to make sure that the sleeves weren't somehow incorrect for the G15 variant of the forks before I proceeded.
I suppose the way I would proceed absent any more info is to install a leg without the metal fork shroud, fork extensions or external spring on and measure the space where the spring would go (including washers etc), then compare with the spring length to make sure those sizes are a decent fit...assume the spring should have a very light preload as it's installed?

(Sorry for starting another thread but burying the query in my ongoing G15-CS progress didn't seem likely to generate responses.)
