2019 Husky 501 zeda 30MM fork spacer install problem.

[sand_fiend]

Hey guys. i am lowering a friends bike for him because he is only 5'2.  i bought the zeda 30 MM front fork spacer kit.

everything went easy until i put the top cap back the rod.  I tightened the nut all the way down on the threaded rod just like i took it off with soft jaws.

i put the spring in and put the cap on. it seem the cap dose not tighten up to the nut like when i took the off ?

has about a 3/8 space between the nut and cap with the cap bottomed out.

i am assuming that i have to tighten the nut back up to the cap ?

or dose the cap have more of a recess up in it that in not getting in to ?

You may need some preload washers. 

Did you plan on just lowering the forks? Lowering the shock the same overall seat height would be a great idea.

A simple measurement of the depth of the threaded hole in the cap will tell you how far the rod should go in.

I'd guess most/all the way to the nut. Check the adjuster is backed right off, and the rod or whatever is fitted in place properly.

The spring guide(nut) should come loose from the rod and thread up towards the cap to jam against it.

Of course it will, but I'm guessing the op is concerned that the rod isn't screwing into the cap fully. 3/8 seems like a big gap, I'd be suspicious of it too.
