yeah my stock kick stand 'deployment arm' or whatever you call it is nearly destroyed. it ground out flat and bent in half so i just cut half of it off. now i have quite the ankle sticker poking out the left side under the pipe. i'll have to address it again sometime but right now i'm not worried. it does affect your left turns though as you can't get as far over on the left as you can on the right. my right pipe has a big flat spot in it too, from on-ramps mostly.
