Re: centre stand spring fitting tip.

Yes John,
Gary has it right, bending the spring in alternate directions and inserting a washer, or if minted, coins does the job, as you acn see the spring extend to the right length. Worked for me! Needing my nylon jacket due rain!

My VH is nearing the end of a 11 year restoration, and I will be bombarding the forum with questions if you don't mind :?: Living mostly in Spain the rebuild has taken a LONG time, and where do some of those parts go, there must be a parts ...
