I shot all the bushings and pivot area's with silicon spray but have not yet had the opportunity to ride cuz I'm in Minnesota and the weather is turning. I'll let you know by the weekend but I'm not too optomistic the noise is gone.

The springer isnt that bad to take a part. Follow the instructions. Make sure you use the heavy duty zip ties. Just take your time and you will be fine. Also when reassemble just make sure you have your torque specs as well. You will be fine.
Also they make a springer compression tool.
