Title: Kickstand springs
Post by: wladziu on December 04, 2008, 01:43:25 PM
Can somebody post a picture of how the kickstand springs go back on?  Can't figure this thing out to save my life. 

There's a post on the stand, and a post on the frame (around the centerstand mounting brackets).  I know that much.  But, I can't get the springs to stay on, no matter what I do.  I don't know if the powdercoating I've done has made the posts too slippery for the springs to hold onto, or what it is.

the reason it wont stay on is you're looking in the wrong place for the kickstand spring post.   it goes to a post that is near the bolt on the kickstand itself right there on the frame.
