dr350 side stand springs

[berlum]

Hi all. My first post so hope its in the right place. I've just bought a kickstand for my 1994 Dr350 to replace the home made one that's been on it for years. stand cut out switch removed years ago. The new (second hand ebay) stand came with 2 return springs and I cannot work out how they both attach. One is thinner and slightly longer than the other. The shorter, fatter one fits great and the stand works with this in place but I cannot work out how or why the other longer, thinner one fits. I've tried putting one inside the other but the longer one is slightly too long. Am I missing something here please. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just had a look at mine and the long thin one sits inside the short fat one. It pokes out either side of the shorter larger diameter one.

Great. Thanks. It seemed to be the only way it could work. Perhaps the thinner one on mine is a bit worn making it longer. It wont fix round one of the stud things when the stand is up but does grip it when down so seems to work. Cheers for replying.
