Installing a center stand

[fireburster]

So i got a center stand off ebay and it comes this weekend. They said they shipped everything  i need with it to install it. What should i look for? How do i install it. I figure its a bolt through the top then attach the spring right?

Big is taking its winter nap so i havent gone out to see where that all hooks to on the bike and i couldnt find a good pic of the spring attachment.

Two bolts, one of which the exhaust needs to be dropped to gain access to and a pair of springs that go to a nail-shaped stud on the frame.

So exhast needs to come off completely? I need to paint it anyways but i was hoping to quick put on the stand for the rest of winter. Doesnt sound like it now.

Nope, exhaust has to come down to install the center stand.

Even with the little stub at the end of the headers (I have a Cobra slip on which replaces the midpipe), there is not enough clearance to install/remove that bolt. T

The other side is fine but the right side isn't.
