When I stumbled on my "mis- matched" fork legs that was the first time the length really became important to me. The parts books can generally be used for part identification but sometimes they only show the latest version of a part and you need to go back through the books to work out what you really have.
In the case of competition parts there aren't even line drawings to go on. And a description of "Long" or Short" is as useless as tits on a bull when you don't have anything else to go by.
So it would be nice if we could compile a set of pictures with descriptions for these parts in the technical section.
It took me months of scratching my head before I finally realized I had the wrong part in my hand. When everyone kept telling me (includingthe FSM) to just "compress the spring" and I couldn't do it I started to think I was just getting to old for this.
