So I'm trying to do the R6 fork mod and I got the spacers from dako81 and they looked awesome. I got the forks on and calipers swapped over only to find the spacers not being big enough. With the wheel and axle installed I still have a 5-8mm gap between the spacer and inside edge of the fork. I have the axle pushed in all the way flush on the outer right side (facing the bike) edge of the fork and the axle is completely through and sticking out the other side of the left fork. If I tighen down the axel bolt all the way it doesnt even come flush with the fork leg let along close the gap at all. Pictures proved at the following link. Does anyone have any idea why I would have this gap? I have no way of torquing the bolt down to make it fit either. I can slide the axel out to the right a little and torque down the bolt, see if it compresses it but I think that would be a bad idea....
