The kickstand spring is tough. I attach the spring before the swing arm is installed. The best hardest way (pun intended) is to remove the mufflers (so the kickstand swings as high as possible) and use a greased flat screwdriver to leverage the spring onto the peg. Wear gloves whle doing this trick ...

I cant figure out how to get the front fender to go in without scratching the whole fender. is it suppose to just slide in or does it ...

Thanks, ill order one now.

You may find that your headaches are fewer if you get the conversion plate to switch to a standard type petcock.

What would be a good decently priced petcock as a replacement?

Is the this the conversion plate for the petcock?
