Hello screwloose,
welcome at Stridaforum
You donโt need to be so shy;
of course you deserve your own introduction thread
Usually, the kickstand comes including a longer bolt, spring washer and another aluminium part.
Just put the aluminium part below the kickstand plate, the spring washer above and secure with the longer bolt.
(Never use the longer bolt without kickstand!)
The kickstand length, once mounted to bracket, can be adjusted via the Phillips screw at the side of the kickstand.
Have a safe ride,
Chris
