Front suspension

Should the ring nut that secures the front shock cartridge into the the strut tube be showing any of its thread. Mine is showing about 3/4 cm of thread. Is this correct or do i need to get the stilsons on it? Its a GMAX shock, same issue on both sides.

I have got spax on mine and they have about the same amount as yours showing. Just make sure they are tight about a month after i fitted mine i had a knocking coming from the front turned out the nut had come loose :cry:

I had Gmax shocks and the ring nut came loose de-threaded itself and ended up with the shock getting a crackin it due to the movement it caused.
