OK then, for you Matt, 248 to 252mm. Others may get away with a larger range.
Stockers are 343mm with 7.5mm of spacers.
Boom! Your workable range just got even bigger
I'm running 250mm with spacers, but one could run longer and heavier springs if it was more convenient.

I have drilled and tapped the body for a schrader valve which comes off at about a 45 degree angle to the shock. This allows for continued nitrogen draining and refilling. The first disassembly required drilling the top with a 1/16 hole (and safety glasses) to let the gas out. This hole was later enlarged to fit the valve.

Man there are million Shrader valves. Which valve did you choose?
Thanks

Hi Matt,
My first set of 37's measured just enough over that they didn't fit. The 36's fit just fine. Also, the question to ask (for future spring purchases) is if the particular spring (wire thickness, coil spacing) will bind before 140-150mm of travel. Depending on the answer, you can make your choice. 37's might fit, but if they are on the fat side, you might have some challenges.

Ok, so tell me if this logic makes sense or doesn't. In the name of finding a fork spring that doesnt need as much preload spacer length I was looking for something around 340 to 345 and it seems a Suzuki Bandit 600 aka GSF600 uses a racetech fork spring option FRSP S3534100 fork spring which is I think 35mm OD, 345mm free length, and this one is a 1.0kg/mm spring rate. Do y'all think this spring being longer and higher spring rate would bind over the travel of the RC390 STREET front fork travel?
Thanks,
Vaughn
