I probably need to fix this throttle lock spring issue on my own before the trip. I don't think I'm going to get a solution from Manic in time for Sturgis. Does anyone know where I can find a large selection of springs?

Ace Hardware,especially one that services lawn mowers and such or *shudder* Lowes and the like.

I just tried an auto parts store and Ace, no such luck.

The Manic Salamander guy has been helpful, but slow. I think it's a one man show, and he's out of town currently. He says he'll be back home and will try to make me something to fix it on Tuesday. That's cutting it pretty close to Sturgis time, considering shipping, and possibly having to return the bar ends.
