    Center-stand spring?

    Sorry guys, I am working on a GS in Boxes special and looking through both manual's and various online posts figured I'd ask.

    Attaching the center stand spring. I know one end goes on the center-stand itself but where does the other end attach to?

    Picture or description should suffice! Thanks!

          Between the mounting points for the center stand, there is a tab with a hole in it, facing towards the rear of the bike. The top end of the spring hooks through that hole. The tab looks just like the bottom one on the center stand itself.

            Push pennys or dimes in between the coils until it slips right over then remove them
