Saging sidestands

by VonGruff -

Fixed the saging sidestand on my FXD today.  Stand was inclined to droop down just enough to cause the odd scrape on corners when I was no where close enough to really touch down so took the spring and cut a full loop of it and put a guard spacer between it and the next loop, heated and rebent a loop and now have a side stand that stays up where it is supposed to do.

do quite a bit with heat as I made 2 forges for my knifemaking but the little gas torch is all that is needed for this repair.
