Back to sorting the 56K basket case. The subjects today are rear shock absorber mounting studs and kickstands. As usual I have too many of each and am trying to determine which ones are right or wrong. Looking at the parts book I see there are only a top and bottom stud, and I can cipher out from the images that the long variant goes on top, but puzzled by the thin and thick hex sections of these long studs, and which one of the two is correct for a K.
With respect to kick stands, the parts book shows a part# for 1952-53 and another for 1954-59, but have no idea how they differ. The length and foot shape of both of my stands are the same so I am showing only the head of the stand in the picture, in hopes this will reveal which stand I have.
Please take a peak at the images below and let me know what you think I have. Thank you.
