Kickstand bolt and spring quick question

[Beardo]

Just prepping for some trips this summer, have read about a lot of you carrying the kickstand bolt and spring that are prone to failure in your saddlebags. Anyone got the part numbers handy?  Will order them up since they're cheap and don't take up a lot of space.

I did a search, but didn't see the part numbers.

Thanks.

Go to Partzilla and look on the "frame" fishe.

I plan on "wiring" on a safety harness to the spring, so if the bolt ever breaks, I wont lose the spring. I'll worry about the bolt if it ever breaks.

The bolt is this thing on the frame page:

HOOK, SPRING    50536-MZ0-010   $3.81

The spring is over on the side stand page:

SPRING, SIDE STAND  50541-MT3-610  $6.16

I had one of those bolts break on day 1 of a 3 day trip.  It broke while getting gas so I was able to retrieve the spring.  I rigged up a bungee to hold it in place while riding and it was only a minor irritation for the remainder of the trip.

When I got home I made my own part from a bolt with the same threads and length as that 'spring hook'.  I cut a short piece of plastic tubing and threaded it part way on the bolt so I had that groove for the spring to rest in.  That was nearly 10 years ago and that bolt is still working fine.

Thanks Mike.

I saw that someone else asked it on the other "parts to carry" thread and it wasn't answered. This will put it in a thread for future searchers to see.

BTW, installing the new 'hook' bolt is not too easy.  The spring is very strong, and stretching it onto the new bolt is difficult.  I bent the spring back and forth several times, inserting thick washers each time to extend the length.  Others have used nickels as spacers.  Then it's easy to install and pull the spacers back out.
