Can anyone help me out?

Ran into the issue of the top of the cbr triple above the top tapered bearing double nut with a locking spacer between the two nuts. There is not enough room for me to put the ring in between the two nuts. There isn't enough threads. I used the thick washer on the bottom of the tapered bearing and look like I would have to use it that way due to lack of space between the head and lower tree. Is leaving the locking ring out a bad idea even if both nuts are tight together?

In my humble opinion its fine so long as the top

nut is fully on the threaded part.

You're good to go.
