I ran into a bit of a hiccup with my project...
Although the Koba kickstand is a very solid piece, the support brace is made of flimsy steel that easily bends. Needless to say, the brace is pretty useless as a structural piece.
And as Golden Boy has pointed out, these stands were made for a different style of bike which I imagine have much thicker chain stays.
I had to wrap my rear stay with a piece of rubber to get the stand to tighten down but the set-up at the moment leaves me with little confidence.

Sooooo......
I decided to ditch the flimsy brace and fab up a new one.
I do not recall why I even had a worn out TA Specialites chainring hanging on my pegboard but I always knew I'd have a use for it someday.
