Triple clamp spacer, top or bottom of upper triple?
Does it matter if the spacer (most people use the KX stem nut) goes on the top or bottom of the upper triple clamp? I am going to machine a one piece sleeve/spacer to deal with the up and down slop as well as the slop on the shaft and I can't decide if it matters which way the up and down spacer goes.
As of now I am going to put the spacer underneath between top triple and stem nut so that on top it only has the stock washer and triple nut.
This is on a 2000 KDX 200 with 2001 KX125 forks.

Most put it on the bottom for clearance issues for the bars and to raise the top triple so that you have more adjustablity in the forks as most are longer than the KDX forks.
Just put it under the TT's!

Good deal. The steering stems should press out pretty easily...12 tons of pressure and some heat if it not coming right out.
