The funny thing about this thread is it began by asking for tips on how to lift the bike onto the center stand and somehow it morphed into how to install the center stand spring

Cuch - wrong thread you thinkin'?

Seems to be alotta spring-related posts.

I reckon it could have gotten a lot worse, like ending up talkin' 'bout how 5W40 synthetic is the oil of engine oils.

You know what, upon further review, I was reading the top post of page 2, which was about getting the bike onto the center stand. But this thread was a bit all over the place. I am surprised that there were no posts about standing in the center of something. Maybe 4 corners?

I actually fought with mine for a couple of days until I connected a ratchet strap to my spring tool, the other end was connected to the trailer hitch on my car and I wound up that ratchet until it pulled it far enough for me to hook it on.
