All fitted and hunky dory! I note that you only used one spring weestrom. I have fitted both springs. Maybe that’s why mine cost £15 more. lol

 :lala: I'm happy yours arrived. Off back to garage to look at my stand. I did only fit one spring, thought that seems a little odd and put the other spring on the work bench!  :crazy:

Well it doesn’t say anything in the instructions about two or one spring so I don’t know what is right or wrong

I'm sure all the kits are similar, probably mimicking the Genuine Suzuki part(s).

Motech details a 'spring set' and a fixing tool. My springs were interwoven. I used a screwdriver.

If you pay too much you get the info. perhaps.  :shrug:

I'd guess two springs are a safety measure incase one fails....?

So how's it going so far then?
