Default Where to find 3.1" Jiffystand Spring?

For some reason, my new to me used 90 FLHTC does not use standard HD Jiffy Stand Spring. That spring is too long by about 1/2". I need a spring that measures 3.0' to 3.1" hook to hook.

I have spent an hour googling all over the internet for this spring length with no results.

Right now I have the longer spring on the bike. I took the longer spring and hacked it down so it would put enough tension on the jiffystand to hold it up.

Thanks.

Look around for a specialist spring supplier, they do exist, should be able to sort you out nicely.
