If you are using 320mm long aftermarket springs then your original spring spacers are perfect - no need to make new ones. This applies only to the 02+ VFR800 by the way!
Whatever you do, do not match the overall length of your stock springs and spacers. I realize that many instructions included with aftermarket springs will say to do this, but it's incorrect. If you have chosen the correct spring rate you will need 15-17mm of initial spring preload. In the case of the 02+ VFR's using 320mm long aftermarket springs a spacer length of 100mm (10cm) is exactly what you need.
