It sounds like if I'm just switching my stock springs for the stock-replacement ones from Progressive (# 11-1144, NOT the lowering 10-1563 kit) , I should be able to simply remove the top nut, take the spring, washer, and spacer, and replace with the progressive spring, PVC pipe spacer, and washer? Someone in that thread even mentioned you could use a pen magnet or coat hanger to take the spring out without having to remove the fork?
I had the oil and seals replaced about 6 months ago. Was supposed to have the Progressive springs installed at the same time but the place I purchased from sent me the wrong ones, so I had then reassembled with the stock spring and new fork oil. I shouldn't even need to drain the oil if mine is still right? Bike has been ridden maybe 1,000 miles since the install.
