    Thanks Kelly!!!:thumbsup:

    I have some new springs for the TE, the forks are easy enough, BUT
    changing out the rear spring......

    I do not have a spring compressor, will a couple of cinch straps work?

    No problem.

    No it is REAL EZ. spin the preload collars until they are clear to the top, lift the spring up a little and pull the lower cup with a slot out and slide the spring off. It is super EZ.
