Hard to tell from it being out of focus, but it does look like the one stay was crimped by the kickstand. Or maybe it was actually formed that way to accommodate a kickstand. I would at least slap some primer and paint on that bare metal.
So, what you're saying about being crimped is the dent made by the kickstand. If it was intentional there would have been press marks on both sides to accommodate the kickstand mounting bracket. Got it!!! Thanks for all the info everyone!!!
