DOH! someone backed into my bike, need info on kickstand!

hey guys, so yeah last night, went out on the patio for a cig and i look down to see my bike IS TIPPED WAY THE HELL OVER ON THE LEFT WITH THE REAR WHEEL ON TOP OF THE CURB. needless to say, I WAS FURIOUS. ran downstairs, made the best visual inspection i could at 10 pm and it appears that a car backed into my front end, pushing the kickstand and bending it and pushing my bike up the curb. i've yet to ride to see if anything else is wrong, but hopefully its all ok.

anyways, im like, there mustve been enough force to potentially damage my forks if my kickstand was bent, but maybe not. the front fender doesnt seem to have sustained much damage--but then again the whell may have beard the brunt.

SO TO THE POINT. my kick stand is bent and it's making me nervous--it kinda flexes, though the lean isnt too drastic, but the "foot" of the stand seems to be way too far forward from where it's supposed to be.

does anyone know if there's a kickstand from another bike that i could grab the kickstand from and bolt on? (gsxr and the such are 23098092094 times more popular around here and thus parts are a HELL of a lot easier to find) or does anyone down in socal have a kickstand for sale? i wanna fix this asap.

peace!

divingindaytona is an unknown quantity at this point
Call a salvage yard. They should have a kickstand or two, at a less than new price.
