CBX Side Stand 'Bend Back' Fix
My FB buds said 'Bend it Back'!
Way excessive lean angle. Scary. One little tug and she'd topple over.

It's firm, not loose, and solid to frame too.

Hmmm. Posted on ICOA site, they said get a new one or bend it back!

The 'rib' should be in alignment with pivot point.
Not curved like this.

Neighbor Gary has a 40 ton press. Should work!

Like a dumb-ass didn't get pic of it 'straight'.
But easy enough on and off!

Much much better, but I'd like it even 'taller', less lean angle than this.. Keep on bending?
