Posted June 29, 2021 Good Day to All of You I'm Freddy, Portuguese and proud owner of a "Black Beauty" I removed my main, or center stand a few years ago and i'm having some difficulties in putting it back on can't seem to figure out where the 2 springs are supposed to be attached to I respectably ask if any of the fellow members would be so kind as to post a picture or something of both ends of the springs in place so i could put mine back on Thank you very, very much in advance and please...be safe out there all of you Regards, Freddy 0 Share this post Link to post
Posted June 29, 2021 It's many years since I did it but I do remember it being bloody difficult! The springs kind of fit inside one another with like a rubber sleeve around. I seem to remember tying the stand in the raised position as well. I had a quick look in the manual but couldn't even find a mention of it, let alone any pictures. I'll just have to wish you well with it! 1 Share this post Link to post

Cheers, Eddy thank you for getting back to me it is, like u said, bloody difficult indeed i have looked everywhere, internet, the manual, everything...and nothing to be found anywhere i have everything in place, but the only thing puzzling me is the place on the frame where both springs will attach i got 'em already inside one another, hooked on that little ring on the stand, but i couldn't find the place they go on the frame even if my life depended on it... that's the only reason i asked if anyone had a picture of it...the "hook" on the frame where they're supposed to latch on thank you once again and be safe!! 0 Share this post Link to post
Posted June 30, 2021 I think the springs are in line with the legs on the stand when the bike is on the stand, so look for the peg on the frame directly above and in line with the stand legs 1 Share this post Link to post

Posted July 4, 2021 Hi everybody!! First of all, thank you very much for your kind and prompt assistance I managed to find the little b#$$%rd thingy, peg, hook or whatever its called where the main or center stand is supposed to attach its springs I leave the picture here (hopefully it gets through) so anyone that could come across this kind of hiccup in the future can find it and move on to the next hideous task: - the placing of the springs on the bloody thing, Ha! Everyone be safe, ride smooth and be as happy as you can! cheers from Portugal 1 Share this post Link to post
