Exactly where does the kickstand spring attach (top side) on a '75? Is there a lug (Mine may be missing) or does it attach to the pivot bolt in some manner?

I can find no place to attach it to.

PS. Pics would be awesome!
 
These happen to be from a 78'SE but my 77'D is much the same.

Yes, '76 and earlier stands didn't attach that way or have that plate w/ spring peg. They were a clevis mount and the spring attached to a peg welded to the frame. Sounds like yours is missing. If you clean the area really well, you can probably see where it broke off from.
 
Mine was missing on my 75 too. A po welded a loop on in the wrong place and the stand would pop down on just a little bump. I ground all that crapo away and welded on a peg of myown. Just a bit forward and above where the stand bolts on. The forard to hold it down, the above to hold it up.
