Centre Spring Stand

Hi ..2010 SE
The spring on my centre stand got caught in the exhaust clamp bolt (due to the stand bolts being very loose!) .. as result the inner spring got stretched, when I used the stand, and possibly the outer one too...
Try as I might, I cannot seem to find this double spring on sale anywhere

Any links, please?

Thank you!

 

looked on there, just shows a single spring, which I have ordered... maybe they changed the spec?

 

thanks for checking Samsgrandad

 

I could only find the single spring, so if yours is the double, that would be amazing! Let me know what you want for them, please

 

Wow! Thank you so much! The springs are down the garage, I'll check later, and get back to you ... not sue how to PM on here... anyone know? My email is [email protected] if you want to message me on that.. and thanks again

 

so, mystery solved ... although the WOT site shows the part as a single spring, tis actually a double, which duly arrived today.... bargain at £3!

Anyway, then the fun part.. fitting it

I have spring hooks etc, for use on my lambrettas, and had read people's fun in trying to fit the spring.. but... I found a trick I used on my scooters works on the main stand....

I offered the stand up and fitted the bolt and sleeve loosely on the L/h side, leaving the r/h side off completely, letting the stand flop about

Then connected the plate part, attached the springs to that and the main stand.

Then, levered the stand in position and slid the remaining bolt and sleeve... tighten up both bolts, jobs a good un, easy peasy

Sorry if somebody has already posted this somewhere, but I was quite chuffed with myself...
