Short primary springs in tall cover

[JohnnyQuest]

Can you use older short yamaha primary springs in the tall cover style? I had heard you can with a shim to take up the difference in length.... Any truth to this??

yes, you simply just shim it. i can't remember the exact difference, but it may be around 8mm.

I'll look up the length difference and machine out a spacer then... Thanks!
