OK, Thanks, I got it on! To late to chrome the bushing & spring, great idea thow. My bushing was fine. I think the kickstand is made of regular steel, mine had rust on the bottom where it meets the ground.
Now I have another question.........when changing/removing the brake pedal, how do you get that pin out? I took the tiny cotter key out but I can't get the pin to slide out. Did I mention it's frigging cold out? Thanks, Steve.
