Ive already posted on the 1500 Tech Board but wanted to say thanks to-those who gave me advise on repairs  of my broken kickstand spring bolt that broke as I was heading for Inzane.

Finally found the kickstand spring bolt that broke off.  I tried replacing the bolt while the bike was on kickstand but just couldnt work with the few inches oh space.   My son has a drive on car lift at his shop.   I bolted a heavy duty motorcycle wheel chock on one of the car wheel runners.   This morning my son and I pushed the bike up on the runner and into the wheel choke and the bike was very stable.  We taised the lift up high enough to stand up under the bike.   Worked great.  Took off the two big bolts that hold the kickstand assembly on and then the broken bolt was very easy to work with.  No problems.  My Valkyrie is back on the road.
