Check your kick stand spring, make sure it's still there.

That's the only thing I can think off.

Thanks Alain but definitely not a kick stand spring. Going to Harley store
today and see if they can identify it.

Good point.

Your exhaust shields don't use springs do they ?

That is not a stand spring, this type of spring is used to hold something closed or assit opening. Usually it is in the hinge section and 1 wire is pushing against a non moving base and the other is working on the hinged component.

I can think of nothing except maybe a softail toolbox lid.....

I don't have a toolbox so isn't it. I agree with what you're saying. It
popped off when I took the bike off the lift. Took it to Harley and they
said it didn't look like a Harley part. My lift is home made and is all wood
and a pipe, see pic. Thanks to all of you guys for your input!!

Dang it, Pops, put the scoot in your garage photos so we can see what you built there.
