So today I was loading my bike on my bro-inlaws trailer and when we ran it up the ramp the kickstand caught and broke the spring. I'll order one on Monday but just wondering how to install? In my experience high tension springs look easier to install than they actually are..

Check tab on stand, I damaged weld on mine,cracked it.If ok this is the easiest way I found. You need to remove stand and install spring in this manner.
Install end of spring into hole in frame weldment. Insert
threaded end of jiffy stand up through bottom of bracket.
Swing jiffy stand forward beyond the normal down position
and install other end of spring into hole in jiffy stand
weldment.
NOTE
Verify that end of spring enters hole at front of jiffy stand
weldment. If end of spring enters hole at
rear of weldment, spring coil will rub on jiffy stand when exercised.
Holding jiffy stand at the full forward (down) position, install
leg stop over threaded end with the stamped side down.
Install flat washer, lockwasher and hex screw.Tighten hex screw 15-20 FT LB

and if you have one of them old brake spring plier tools, it will make it a breeze.
Just be glad you don't have a Police bike that kills the motor when the K/S is not FULLY retracted. Ask me how I know this! Made for a LONG 4th of July weekend last year. And mine gave out @ a gas stop, didn't break it loading into the trailer!
And yeas I have learned to unhitch and unload the dragbike from the trailer, keeps you from high-centering and removing zipties holding clutch and wiring from the bottom rails of the frame!
