Red: Irony

Realized that even if I found a clever way to stretch the center stand spring and get it attached, it probably wouldn't be easy, and it probably wouldn't be something I'd want to do more than once.

But given how much I'll have to be disassembling and reassembling the bike, it didn't make sense to try to get the stiff spring on there.

So I sent to the hardware store and picked up a #175 spring (4-3/8 x 23/32 x .072) that was a tad longer than the stock spring, but nowhere near as tight.

But when I went to mount it, I realized it was too long to actually pull the stand back and up.  Then I saw that I could just hook it to the frame tab instead of using the connector - exactly how Roxy's is now.  I wonder if her PPO went through the same thing.

I may still try to get another spring so I can at least use the connector.  But this works well enough for now.
