Question Frame Size Question

OK so I bottomed out my bike, and busted that stupid bead off of the piece of metal that hangs down for the kickstand spring.

I'm looking at getting a weld on Jiffy Stand from JP Cycles, but I can't find anything that says what the Frame size is on my 2004 XL883C.

Does anyone know how i can find this out?

JP Cycles allows you to pick your make model and year. Anything listed once you've entered that should fit.

That is what I thought as well, but there are no "Exact Fit" parts that fall into the search for a weld on Jiffy Stand that isn't reliant on that stupid external spring attachment.

Just "universal" fit parts for 1-1/8", 1-1/4", and 1-1/2" frames.

If you are happy to weld on a new stand, why not weld on a new lug for the stock spring? If you are able to weld and attach it, out of bottoming range, you may have to experiment so the stand retracts properly, but that shouldn't be too tough!
