Ryan - Look at the diagram on the buykawasaki site. It should show the correct order.

it does show it, i loooked in the manual but does the order change because of extra spacer. Also how do the forks mount on the tt if they are spread farther apart because of the spacer.

re: far apat

It don't matter. However far apart they are, the forks will generally be at least level to the top clamp.

With the KX setup, though...you will probably have to raise the forks a good bit in the clamps to get the bike back to 'level'...or to the same attitude it was with the OEM forks.

Well...considering the bike is setup with the OEM pull rods, running an 18" rear/21"front wheels with 'standard' sized tires etc. etc.

Is there a particular item you have a question about otherwise? There isn't a whole lot of choice in how things go back on.
