ride safe my friends

 

hey thats good to know,i'll put 6 pennies in my little bike tool bag

 

agree that the folks on this board are great... many of my mods were helped with info from here (even got several parts from guys here). i didnt have an answer to your original post so i didnt respond, and i am glad that someone had the answer!

 

The penny and dime trick worked like a charm! It took a few more than 6 but maybe that's because it's a fatboy Lo. The spring went on great with the jiffy stand up and when I put it down and put the weight of the bike on it the pennies and dimes fell right out! Thanks for the tips guys!

 

I guess I missed something...penny & dime trick for the jiffy stand? Ok...what gives. I have a 07 SG, ran over a dead racoon last fall & it "unhooked" the spring from the frame! I got it back on with help from a friendly biker riding by...but it never been the same. Jiffy stand hangs low. Anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks, Tom
