I want the same set up in my 885 head. I'll take the springs aswell, because I want new ones. Old ones can brake, with all the consequenses...

Yh mines seem to be in good condition and bearing in mind that they are double, when you ran your schrick cam in your m20b23 did you change the valve springs?
