Bent Centre/paddock Stand

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me how to remedy a bend centre stand.

Currently when down the centre stand doesn't even lift the rear wheel off the ground.

I don't think it is the centre stand itself but the mount for the pivot shaft of the beam that the centre stand stops against.

Is this common and is their a easy solution?

Shocks too long?

I have what look like the stock shocks on the bike 4-way adjustable showa's.

Pic? Something has been changed.

Sorry if the photos are a bit crappy, but as you can see the centre stand goes bast where it should stop, and it just touching the cross over pipe on the exhaust, I had a spare centre stand and swapped them out and it made no difference.

What do you think is more likely, mount for the centre stand is bent or the stop is bent?
