It's too bad your dad can't ride it now. Nice work.

Thank you everyone. I will be happy when I am able to fire her up and go for a ride for the first time since I started on her last fall. I just bought the battery today. The speedo and headlight should be here in the next few days. Now I just need to find a wiring key/diagram for the lights, figure out how to move thet tank so the springer stops hitting it and get this kick stand problem resolved. Hopefully in 2 weeks I will be riding. I wish I knew someone who could do nice scroll work because I have some ideas.

If you can weld, cut your stand down to what you need and weld it back together, thats how i did mine. And for your springer is it fitted with internal stops, external stops or no stops? If you have no stops, look at the top tree and you should see what looks like angled pads on either side. Just weld on a tab of metal to the frame to match up with those tabs where you need the front end to stop and there be your stops  |

Looking good.
Just was going to add, cut the old kickstand down and reweld. Looks like taking a couple of inches out of the middle is the ticket.
With springer. weld a rod on to the backbone 5/16 diameter or so, perpindicular to the backbone and where the 'pads' on the springer hit it. Or....drill some holes in the back bone and tap them and put some set screws or threaded rod in there at the length needed to hit the pads.
Looks good. almost there!

nice work......loking good
I would just cut and weld the kickstand but heating it up with a torch and bending it would also work just fine
