Same kind of problem on a Norton.
The best way I found to get it on (and still be alive) was to remove the center stand hardware and let it slip down. Then I would hook both spring hooks through the holes and then lever the stand back up to its mountings.
Was a lot easier than trying to stretch the spring (as in I was never able to get it to stretch enough even using the patented bench racing technique of "slide coins between the coils and that will build it out until it reaches" since when you pull a little to get the last bit of length all the coins drop out).
