M8 Softail Jiffy Stand Spring

Loosen the nut at the top of the stand itself so the locking doo dad is above the tab , then you'll be able to pull the stand back far enough to get the spring on , then tighten the doo dad back up . Remember , you can only install the spring one way , or else it will rub up against the frame .

I installed a shorter stand for a friend who had her bike lowered. Prior to removing the spring I jammed coins in between the coils to keep the spring extended. It worked well for me and perhaps you could use this method somehow, even though your spring has already been removed.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the suggestions guys ... one of these should work for me . The eclips I ordered should be in on Thursday ... so will proceed with install then. Yes the new jiffy design is horrible. The only thing that is holding the pin that goes through the leg of the stand is an eclip. Due to the design of the stand ... the leg wants to dig into the ground on uneven surfaces. This pushes the whole pin assembly upward and appears to be popping off the eclip. It has popped off 3 times on me.
