think i know whats happening now. this is a picture of the front shocker from the info that intrax sent when i was enquiring about the k2's





the black ring thats catching my tyre is in a different place! on pic above its between the red helper spring and the coil itself. on mine its sitting below the coil resting on the red anodised height adjuster on the threaded part of the shock. asked my garage who fitted it and said its to prevent the coil rotating so as long as in contact with the coil can be placed either above or below it. they didn't assemble the shocks - thats how it came from intrax - so would assume it was correct.

will get it changed over, not sure if can get it done before trackdays this weekend, but maynot be weather for cups, but if it is still got the 19" set up i was going to sell that should work fine.

yes just checked with julian here and your black collar is at the wrong end

that will give you a few mm

also prob need smaller helper or small spacer as well

helper spring at top end of shock as in the smaller top pic from intrax, jim.
think it should be ok shimmy without smaller helper or spacer as seems to be plently of clearance from coil/red anodised height adjuster to the tyre wall. will see when i get it re-arranged.

just a shame i cant get it sorted for the weekend as was looking forward to trying it all out

though looking at that photos again shim you could be right, a 3mm spacer might just be best thing.
