[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 575838, member: 5903"] You are all welcome. That's why we're here, to help. I have only test rode it and yes it seemed more quiet, maybe it's me. The real test is I need to get it up to temp on a longer ride and see how it sounds, I'll do that tomorrow when I arrive at work. That's sad.... But funny.... You're welcome glad others can get use form this. I didn't see any external difference, they looked the same but I did not do a side by side thorough exam, I just wanted to get it done. Internally they could have done something different, maybe the spring has more winds, or beefier…. I could definitely tell the difference in tension. The new CCT if I let off slight pressure holding the plunger back, it moved. The old one I had to release my grip even more before the plunger would move. Now that I've done this it's a lot easier and I could attck it better and quicker, plus I won’t be taking pix etc. It is in a tight spot, if you have short fat fingers, this will not be a fun job.
