threaded area (clevis) of sidestand leg.
NOTE

leg, instead of threads on the pivot bolt, will eliminate build-up
between clevis and sidestand bracket which can interfere with
the applied lubricant.

Extension plate should curve away from primary chain adjust-
ment screw to allow for clearance around adjustment screw.
