So my bike didn't have a center stand when I got it, luckily I picked one up off ebay.  Now how to attach it?

I looked up this schematic off bikebandit, look under "footrest"

from the pic it looks like there is one long bolt and bushing that goes through both frame and stand (numbers 2 and 3) , but it seems like I remember seeing a pic where there are two separate bolts needed.

Also the pic shows two springs, a large and a small one, do I need both of these?

It's not really a cost issue as the parts are not expensive...but I don't want to order them and then need another part or two.

Thanks!

You will need two bolts and both springs.  Make sure the bushings are in the center stand you have or you will need those as well.

Thanks, my bike is currently at a friends house so I can't look at it.  I'm going to order new bushings just to be on the safe side, as they are fairly cheap and if they are on the bike they're most likely in bad shape.

Thanks again!

Get some grease in there too.  It'll make a world of a difference getting the  bike up.
