I went back and thinking perhaps the spring just finally bit the bullet bought another spring . Seems to be a lot lazier if the bike has been leaning on the kickstand for a week.
I've uploaded a video to YouTube in the hopes someone may have some idea. Take a look.

had similar problem on my glide, insufficient pressure on spring

spring is attached to lug on frame that over time (read misuse) gets bent back

you can bend the tab back to its original position but it will eventually break off

solution is to make a bracket to bolt to kick stand mounts that spring can locate on (look at shovel kiskstand bracket for inspirsation)

did this on my bike, it works fine

Good suggestion , Harley seemed to do a lot of things in a more simpler practical way on the shovels.

Been real busy past few days but wanted to come back and report. I took the kickstand off completely and inspected all parts. I compared old spring to the new spring I had put on but didn't appear to be much difference. I decided to put the old spring back on with the rubber stop moved back some and wouldn't you know it the kickstand is still kinda lacking spring going down and the normal spring tension going up but it has been staying up without falling down while riding.
I ordered a entire setup from pinwell so I'll see if that makes an even better difference. Thanks Schex3x.
