Show picture of frame where kickstand spring goes on1200 sportster

I had the same problem. So I'll tell you how I fixed it. the first time i broke it off I found the little nub. drilled a small hole in the nub then puddle welded it back where the hole was.
others have drilled and tapped the hole to put a small bolt in place. One guy even had a bracket made and welded in place.

Decide what solution works and try it out. I work at a steel shop so my solution wasn't too difficult.
Hope this helps.

There is a place on the frame and a place on the kickstand for each end of the spring to connect to. With the bike on the kickstand and someone to help steady the bike, use a pair of side cut pliers or a very strong spring hook to pull the spring and rconnect it to the kickstand.

If you can't get it this way, remove the pivot bolt, connect both ends in their proper positions and work the kickstand back into position so the pivot bolt will go back in.

It's tough but it can be done.

If the bike has been dropped, the stand could easilly be slightly bent.
Put the bike on a paddock stand and take a closer look. It will become obvious as soon as you can get underneath with the stand.
Ride safe.
Nice bike!

Yes it can be fixed but it must be welded back onto the frame, a muffler shop can do this for you.

Have a friend hold bike up for you with the kickstand in,attach spring to kicks stand, and with a pair of needlenose pliers stretch the spring to attach to the loop on the frame
