old progressive springs

imported post

I am the forth owner of my 89 gl1500. The first owner installed front Progressive springs sometime before 2000. Owner #2 informed me recently that he removed the Progressive springs about a year after he bought the bike in 2000 and installed springs from a 95 model. He didn't like the Progressive ones because he is 5'4" with a short inseam and they raised the front of the bike too much for him. So he said. Anyway, he sold the bike to owner #3 this past Febraury and I acquired it in July with 112k+ miles. It now has 118k miles. Owner #2 has offered me the Progressive springs. He said they are in good shape. Would it be a smart move on my part to install springs that are at least ten years old and have been laying around somewhere or should I stay with the ones that are in it?

One more question. He replaced the timing belts and tensioners Spring 2007 at 100k miles. Am I safe with them or should I have them checked out?
