Side stand SPRING?

[motopsycho87]

Hi!

Has anyone found a decent replacement side stand spring? As mine broke and the GG replacements are hella expensive!!!

I'm using one that I found at the local hardware store. It doesn't have the straight section like the stock one did (it's coiled end to end) and it's slightly larger in diameter, so it sits a little funny when in the down position. Has been holding the kickstand up for close to a year now though. Cost was about $2.
