Just picked this bad boy up a few weeks ago from a good fellow down in Virginia. It's not a garage queen for sure and could use some TLC, but the price was right and I think I'm gonna like it.
However, got to looking at it today over at a buddy's house. It looks to me like the centerstand isn't quite right. The rear tire barely clears the ground and it looks like it's about to roll back on itself. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. We took the centerstand off and didn't notice anything obviously wrong.
Also, if you look at the bike from behind, it is leaning to the right at about 10 degrees past perpendicular to the ground.
Any thoughts? Here are a couple pics.

I had an OEM center stand that had bent the attachment bracket on the right side...
The money for the SW Motech one is well spent on that model (at least in my opinion).
I fixed mine by replacing the bolts according to this:

Works very well. It feels much more stable now.
Thanks for the help. Add another project to the list!
