How to install center stand
This seems like the best thread on centerstands, so I figured I'd resurrect it with one more tip on how to put on a pre-stand without bashing any knuckles.
First, take a look at that nut just behind where the L-bracket thing is supposed to mount.
Now find a socket & extension that will fit over that nut and behind the L-bracket, as well as something to push the L-bracket once it's in place.
Put something under the centerstand so that it wants to stay up, then leverage the L-bracket over to where it needs to be. Push on the bracket with your screwdriver or whatever to get it in place.
That's it. A lot easier than messing around with the springs IMO.
