I just installed the two brothers shortys and my kickstand is touching the mid pipe when it is up. how do I get the kickstand off to grind a little off. Should I leave it on and try to file some off of it. Any suggestions? has anyone had this problem?
how do i get the spring off - its not as easy as taking out the bolt

Tip for taking off springs: Find the point where the springs are under greatest tension (somewhere between up and down positions). Then slip some coins or washers between the coils of the spring. Then move the stand up and the spring will be loose. Makes getting is all back together way easier too.how do i get the spring off - its not as easy as taking out the bolt

Doesn't work for all of them. Suzuki seems to be using a lot of double springs (small spring inside a big spring) which are a pain in the butt. But the coins trick does work great for single springs, sometimes for doubles.This is bull(coins between the springs). It did not work and believe me when I tell you I tried more than a few times. Finally, I just closed the kickstand and used vice grip pliers to pull and remove the springs.
