Kickstand Spring needed,.

[DarrinGT]

We got a ride in today, possibly the last one of the season. About 70 miles in, I was casually leaning back and forth, and noticed a light grinding noise when leaning to the left, about the 3rd time I heard a BOING,... we pulled to the side of the country back road, looked down and saw the Kickstand swaying in the breeze. It appears that the nut came loose and the spring Sprung to who knows where... Well we bungie corded it up and completed our 130 mile trip.

 

So now I will need a spring, the Bungie Cords work but look a little tacky, So if anyone has one form a parts bike or any suggestions on where to get one, before I hit the dealer I would appreciate it

 

It is a 97 Royal.

 

Thanks!

I have one from a rsv that may work if interchangeable with your 97. How long does it need to be?

Thanks Larry, I dont know how long it needs to be since it sprung off the bike with the velocity of a Scudd Missile, never to be seen again,.. I will do some checking on part numbers to day to see if it is interchangeable and let you know.

 

Thanks again!

Ok Larry, I searching for part numbers I was able to find a new one for about $10.00 shipped, so I just bought that one, so I should be all set.

 

Thank you for your willing to help I appreciate it!
