      See the silver round button head screw to the right of the kickstand?  Originally there was nothing there. You need to look at the kickstand and see where it hits that place. Take a magic marker and mark where it's touching. Take the bracket off or if you can do this while it's on the bike that will work too. You then drill a hole with a .201 drill bit, tap it 1/4 20 all the way through. Then you put a stainless steel button head screw 1/2 inch long in the hole.  After the screw is in the hole you grind the button head of the screw until the kickstand stops at the place you desire.  Make sure the screw is in the hole tight before you start grinding on it.  :-)

       

      

       

      Here's a pic of the screw from the side to show how thin mine is.

       

      Hope this makes sense. If you can't figure it out you can take the directions to a mechanic and I'm sure he can do it for you.

       

      From TJ (tj1100cl): -- you could probably get the same spacer effect by jb welding a washer in the same spot, or on the kickstand itself in the same contact spot.
