headset issue.

hey everyone

just fitted a NOS Nikyo headset to my ride for MK and realised that there is a fair bit of fork between the grip nut & locking nut. now i havent used a spanner on the locking nut yet cus i just need to know if i needed some more spacers between it all or just use a spanner and tighten the locking nut down to the grip nut leaving the excess fork showing. please let me know. cheers.

I've had this same issue on one of my Kuwahara's - just use headset washers to fill the gap. I used some from a couple old headsets.

im sure i've got some but i think it means having to rob some off my rides  >:(

try an older LBS - they'll have em laying about for sure

used some NS 1" 1/8 spacers ;) they do the trick! ;D the locking nut is big so it covers them perfectly and they dont move around :)
