Thanks everyone for your input. I was looking for a NOS kickstand and side stand but it does not look like that's going to happen! So I guess I will just look for something used on eBay..... :-(

Ok upon closer inspection I seems that both the center stand and the side stand are bent! I park this bike outside of the local Walmart (my part time job) and the only thing I can think is that someone has been messing with it (not the first time). this bike is 30 years old and in excellent condition and just about every time I come out of work something has been played with ie switches, mirrors, gears ect.! I think it would take quit a bit of weight to bend both stands but I am the only one that rides my bike and I know nothing happened when I was with it! A bike this old is hard to find parts for and not cheap I would like to find one NOS but I don't think that will happen so if anyone knows of anything please let me know! You can email me @ itsallbs2me@comcast.net Thanks to everyone for your help and input........

Hi, I have a 1983 Honda CM250 custom that the kick stand was very tight and hard to put up and down on. I sprayed some spray lube on it and now it works a lot easyer! problem is that now the bike leans too much and will fall over with the slightest touch or even a little wind ! It also seems that the center stand is leaning as well! My question is is there any way to adjust the kick Stan's or can this be a bigger problem? The bike is in excellent condition and I would hate to have it damaged from falling over!
