Z1000R2 Centre Stand Spring

Not sure what changes there are between European models of the ELRs, as mine has come from Sweden, but I'm missing one of the two centre stand springs.
Looking at my usual source of cmnsl.com showed it should be 92018-1480 but at 177mm long it's way too long - should be <150mm.
Any ideas?
Tried the ST/GPz style spring 92145-0104/34023-012 (used on various Zeds) but it's the wrong style as it needs to have one long tail to get past the frame lower cross tube.

Anyone out there know the correct part number?

Thanks Gary, but that's the same as the other Zeds centre spring and doesn't have the long tail on one end that's needed to get past the frame bottom tube
Love cmnsl though. Use them all the time
Google should be everyone's friend too

I bought one for the GPz11000B1 and I think its the same part number, bought one for the Z1000R, got all the information from Ruddy's restoration post!

Thought that might be the case, the frames of that era are broadly similar the centre stands used to differ by the foot lever clearing the differnet exhaust setups

Thanks guys, just had a look at my B1 and that too is all spring with short tails
Seeing as I have one of the two springs required I'll take a photo and put a few dimensions on it
. That should make spotting one easier

This is the original stand, bolts and springs that came off my R2, I had the springs re-plated.

Update: Seems these springs just don't exist anymore. The guys at Cornwall Kawasaki and Cradley Kawasaki were great but it seems hens teeth are easier to find.
With a little delving and asking Ebay sellers some questions I found that the 1982 Z550Ltd had a very similar spring (92081-1265) . . . but would need a few tweeks to get it right. The spring is 5mm too long and the spring eyes need to be at 90 degrees to each other (rather than inline). With a few tweeks in the vice they were perfect.
