No, it should never bottom out, within reason, on my shock it has bottom out controll, but thats a fox podium, but if you set the sag up first, then play with the clickers to fine tune it you should get it working good

Its really difficult to measure sag on the front forks theres a lot of sticktion on them when your stood still, so its best to talk to a suspension guy and see if your body weight needs a harder/softer spring

Ha Ha, Duh Ford, it is an 07 KX250 ;),the forks ARE flush with the clamps. Pro Circuit doesn't have the link in stock, and they don't have any plans to produce more, I can't find anyone who does stock it. I had my suspension guru valve the shock knowing about the extra 10- 15mm of sag and the spring being 1 rate stiffer for my weight, it's real good now.
If you can find one even used, send me a link, I will sell a kidney if I have to.

Have you tried ordering lately?  I bought my PC linkage back in Sept 10' for a 2006 kx 250.

No I haven't. But I'll pass on it. Since I had the suspension re valved, and installed the proper rate fork springs for my weight. It is now the best handling bike I have ever ridden in the conditions I ride. I reset the sag to 110mm (from 115mm) as it was feeling a little sluggish turning in the tight stuff since the fork no longer dives going into turns. This took a little getting used to for sweepers with Ginormous brake/acceleration mounds at the apex but it became second nature after a few miles. 8)

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.
