The OTHER one! LOLSo you're saying an Eskimo is a "Yankee"? New York City is north east of the Red River and their still Yankees.North Dakota is north westerly of the Red River.Can you see the common word in the last 2 statements. North of the Red River.So you're saying an Eskimo is a "Yankee"?No because he's an Indian, and Indians can't be Yankees. The same as Indians can be Cowboys but, Cowboys can't be Indians. Any questions? (This thread can't be hijacked because the forks are done LMAO)Interested in your opinion debate face on...I'm taking nothing personally, I'm not upset, I'm really just curious.Sure...all KINDS of them.See, I'm not from a state that fought against the south in the civil war. It wasn't a state DURING the civil war. ALL of my ancestors came to this country AFTER the civil war and went directly to places that didn't fight for anyone IN the civil war, including by way of other countries like Canada.First you say that "anyone from the north" is a Yankee. Then you change it and say that Indians can't be Yankees... Well, I GET your logic on why a Native American can't be a Yankee. But if an Indian can't be a Yankee, then that means there's a criteria for someone "from the north" to not be a Yankee. So if someone's parents came to the United States in 1979 from Tehran, Iran and they were born in 1985 in Seattle.... Would you call that person a Yankee? How about a Canadian? What MAKES a person a Yankee? Just "any non-native-American born in the north"?

AND! I really like the Texas X folks I've met so far, and would like to meet more. This sounds like a great opportunity.
Never bury a thread....leave the spring stickin' out! The Progressive swap was something I was intimidated by simply because I had not seen it done, and feared the projectile a bit. Also, what would I do if I got halfway and was stumped? Once again, Hipshot provided all the knowledge needed from experience, and I can honestly say that it is not as bad of a job as I feared it might be. Yes, you definitely need more than 1 set of hands to compress the new spring and get the cap thread started.
Well GEEEEZE, Morgan, I'm sorry I called you a Yankee now. Wayner, the Progressive springs are a big improvement over the OEM springs. The 1300's forks are an easier swap; the 1800 has inverted forks and a special castle socket is required to do the job, and the two forks are much harder to compress than the 1300's when replacing the caps. If you use the GW springs in the 1800, you need to have a 'portly' person to compress the spring and thread up the cap.
