putting together a new front end on my fxr, from parts. got a set of 2000+ lowers, franks 2 over tubes, race tech springs, emulators and speed merchant preload adjusters. im having trouble with the damper rods, i have a set that 10 7/8" supposedly from an fxr. i bought a set from a 2003 fxd their 9.5". from my understanding the fxrt/fxs-sp/fxrp (2 over) have the 10 7/8" damper rods, regular length forks have 9.5" rods. anybody know why? i know they have longer tubes but why the longer damper rods aswell?

The rods determine the stroke and the spring free length. They also are calibrated to scooter weight, and ride quality. Or lack there of, as the case usually is.
I think I would try to find a set of rods that fit the scooter I was installing them on. Or close to it.
The longer tubes from the MoCo have different internals. Aftermarket is usually done with spacers.
