Tony, you can also insert a dime in between each coil of the spring. It will grow a considerable amount, allowing you to easily place the spring over the tangs. After it's in place, just pop the dimes out. Thin washers work as well.

Weld, that is the first time I've heard this way of getting the spring on and it sounds like a great idea. I almost want to take my spring off and give it a try
I had a friend help me and it wasn't easy trying to pry it down with a bar then slip it over to the peg groove. Probably not very good on the spring either distorting it around to get it on.
G19tony try the dime ,washer trick and let us know if it works better then strong arming it. It looks to be the easiest way to do it.
Also loosen the bolt that holds the spring mount plate to the frame so that the plate angles down and gets the spring closer to the center stand peg mount. Than after spring is on just tighten up the bolt. rj
