[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 205406, member: 4617"] More work today. New fuel filter installed. decided to cut the old one in half to see what it looks like:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Fuel Filter.jpg"]17261._xfImport[/ATTACH] Looks likes the filter was doing what it is designed to do; however, don't believe it has been changed in a while as I was told. Installed the shifter brace and new shifter oil seal as well. This took the rest of the afternoon. Spent an inordinate amount of time getting the shifter shaft extension - not a lot of room to take this part out. Had to have the moon and stars aligned properly. I received my Progressive springs and shocks today. Compared the new Progressives to the old spring and there is a difference:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Old-New Springs.jpg"]17262._xfImport[/ATTACH]The new Progressive springs are about a 1/4" longer and there is a distinct change from the ones I took out in that the Progressives ave a distinct transition from a progressive winding to the more tightly wound section. Will be looking at the rear shocks tomorrow. Dumped the coolant today. Looked quite murky as if it had been in the engine for a while. Have to say that I think a coolant change on the 1500 is the easiest between the 1200/1500/1800. Going to get the front forks back together and ready for install tomorrow. Will install after the timing belts are changed. Lots of room to work on the timing belts with the front forks removed. More to follow. Cheers [/QUOTE]
