The kick Stand

[Cagle]

If you have a moment could you post a couple of pics of your kickstands. I believe the angle fa dangle is wrong on mine.something might be worn out inside and I was just double-checking before it breaks and falls over.
I don't believe it should go that far forward I think it should line up better with that little cut out and the part that actually bolts to the frame. Any help would be great thank you so much

Someone on here drilled and tapped a hole and put a screw to stop it. Might want to do a search

Thank you Dent dude 36 that's what I needed to know

Plan 'B' would be to buy one that is an inch longer than stock from Derek and Donna (Shovelheadkicker). My bike has a non-stock front end that is a bit longer, so it leans a bit too much with the stock kickstand.
Plan 'C' ---- Arlen Ness sells an adjustable kickstand, but I don't know anything about them.

Yeah that one sitting just as bad as mine, I think I should be lining up with that notch.

if you look close at the leading edge of the slot in the kickstand, you will probably see a crack at the front of the slot. the mounting bracket tends to work like a wedge and ends up spreading the slot.

Mine looks like this and is alright

If it needs more angle like mine did , drag specialty makes a wedge to help this. Was thinking of relocating my kick stand like newer models. But then I found my gator!also the wedge can be reversed to decrease the angle

 

[what?]

looks like it's doing a number on your frame too.

Thank you everyone for the visuals and what to look for. I'll get it on a stand take everything apart and see what's going on. at least now I know where everything should line up and what to look for.

If the bushing isn't worn real bad and the leg of the kickstand isn't bent out were it bolts onto the mount, you could add a .06 or .09 thick sheet metal piece as I have to keep it from over extending forward. When the sheet metal wears you can just rotate it 180* and your good. The piece I added just lays in there and can't fall out, you can see the ears sticking out on both sides.

It don't look like the weight of the bike is on the kickstand in your pic. But thanks for sharing

You are very observant, it's on the jack keeping the tires elevated. Not like it's going anywhere anytime soon.

Any updates or expected finish date other than the 1 month you were originally promised?

Nope..

Cool that's a great picture I've been to Ace I grabbed a bunch of new bolts I believe I do need a new bushing. I'll order that. What I don't know is should this piece be oblong?

Thank you BWG56. I received the new bushing from Donna. Its not sloppy anymore and the shim is perfect, it lines everything up exactly how it's supposed to be.
