Center stand is aftermarket, and the kickstand is stock, but it looks like it's been cut and had the foot welded back on.

The way the bike sits, if I hang my hammer off the left handlebar the bike tips over. An extra 1"-1.5" would make a world of difference to the kickstand.

Don't hang your hammer on your bike. Problem solved.
