Center stand not fully retracting, maybe bent?

Hi all,
I noticed the other day that the center stand on my 01 Elite does not seem to be fully retracting. It is rubbing against the variator cover by where the kickstart is and has worn away some of the material on the cover.
I’m pretty sure it’s bent, but I can’t seem to find any pictures of the stand in its retracted position for reference on how it is supposed to sit when retracted. Would someone be so kind as to post one so I can try to bend it back to the correct position?
Also, is there an aftermarket option for a side kickstand? I’ve seen the Japanese one from webike, and SSS has one for $100, but that seems awfully pricey. Any cheaper alternatives out there?
Thanks!
