    Howdy folks! I have been a bit of a tit :gah: Half way through fitting my Stage 1 CV carb upgrade kit to my 2001 HD 883 Sportster I removed the original stock slide spring and put it on the bench next to the new one and went off to make a coffee. When I came back I had forgotten which one was the original. One is about an inch longer than the other but which is which? Anyone know either the length of the stock spring or of the Stage 1 spring? :) Cheers!

    Pull on them a little bit - the stock spring is heavier and will require a little bit more pull.
    Or stand them side by side and push down - stock spring requires more effort.
