Can someone post pictures of the Center Stand installed, I am looking for connection point for the center stand and spring holder.

I just picked up a Center Stand and Hardware pack. Once it warms up, I will install and would like to have some pictures for reference.

Thanks!
 
Just in case that's still relevant, I just installed my center stand, but I couldn't find instructions online, either. It's pretty easy, the only hard part is the installation of the springs. I used the coin trick for that, you put one end of the spring in a vise, bend it so you can insert pennies in between the coils on both sides. Rinse and repeat and that stretches the spring enough so it can be installed. You then remove the coins with a sturdy pair of needlenose pliers.
 
Thanks Tron

The hardware set I received is p/n 46 52 1 728 810.
Did you have to remove any plastic to get to the attachment points?
Did you get three bushings, one slightly taller?
Did you get a single lonely washer?

I hate crawling around on the floor so I'm trying to acquire as much info in advance as I possibly can.

Yes, yes and yes.
I had to remove a small fairing on the right side (just one T25 screw and two clips that just pop out) to be able to install the screw on that side.
I also had an extra taller bushing and that lonely washer, no idea why. I initially thought that there was a part missing, but the pin on the frame where the springs connect to was already there.

Install is a breeze (make sure to grease the two T50 screws (not the threads, obviously) well before installing the bushings onto them), only issue was that there is absolutely no way to stretch the springs to install them, so I had to resort to the penny trick.
 
Thanks for the additional details. You didn’t need to remove a panel on the left side where the springs go? Did you install everything withe the bike on its side stand?

No, you can hang them directly onto the pin that's behind the fairing. And yes, everything on the kickstand.
But as I said, you'll need to use the coin trick to stretch the springs as you have about zero leverage to stretch them down there.
