Kickstand broke?

Hey guys, recently hauled my bike home and noticed my kickstand spring come loose which made it unusable. Should I bring it to the shop to get it fixed? If so how much? Or should I just try and fix it myself?
 
Impossible to say, without knowing your abilities.
 
What bike is this? Harley jiffy stand springs break (come apart) if you hit them on the ramp break-over. New springs are $12 IIRC
 
Not entirely related but did you haul it with the stand down? You're not supposed to do that.
 
I had one of those goofy double springs on my centre stand that broke.

Replaced the two, with a 45 year old single spring from a Goldwing.

Works great now.

If you can stretch the new spring without letting go, or it coming off,
you can replace it yourself.

Tip: push pennies into the spring to expand it, install easily, remove pennies.

Nice tip! I gotta admit Flstc. I've been following the photo tag thread as well this year and you sir, you've got style.:)
