jiffy stand spring
Hi all just a quicky i just removed the jiffy stand to re coat its pivot points and to clean up years worth of crap under the fram, but in my un-infinite wisdom i did not not weather the spring hooks on from the front or from the rear of the actual stand,
any pics of what way its suppose to be would be great?

And push a bunch of washers in the gaps of the spring before installing to "stretch it" and make it longer so it is easier to install it. Then when you get it in place pull a few washers out to let it shrink a little, operate the jiffy stand and the rest of them will fall out. Saves you the hassle of trying to stretch the spring at the same time trying to get the ends in place. YD

The washers in the spring is a good trick on quite a few bikes but not at all needed on a HD.
