Default Kickstand rubbing the primary

When my kickstand is up it just barely makes contact with the primary and its rubbing the chrome off in that one little spot. Any body notice this on their bike? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Depending on the style, there should be a hole where the rubber plug goes. I'm not positive, so maybe someone else will chime in, but I think on some there is a flat spot where the bumper is attached with adhesive.

Can you get a pic of your kickstand so we can see it?

Since you have a Deluxe, here is a picture of mine where you can see where the bump stop goes:



I've had to replace mine, as it has fallen out on me before. They're a couple bucks at the dealer.
