Road King kickstand
Ok, I have to admit, my kickstand is making me uneasy a bit. I'm used to non-locking kickstands that extend past 90 degrees.
This stand appears to have a locking mechanism when leaned over, but there is still a good amount of play in it, and it keeps sliding back to less than 90 degrees. If it wasn't for the lock, the bike would fall over, so basically the bike is being held by a plate and bolt. Should the kickstand look like it's trying to fold?
EDIT: I know there is another thread about the kickstand just below, but I'm not talking about the lean angle, just the extension... You can see it in my sig picture, the kickstand is at less than perpendicular to the bike.

I checked the bolt, it's tight. My kickstand will move good 20 degrees while locked, but will drag the kickstand past that.
