Very Pretty!
FWIW, The kickstand tabs (stops) have been bent. This is usually caused by people sitting on the bike while the stand is down) Bent tabs result in the kickstand sweeping too far FWD (One of the wheels should be completely off the ground depending on how the balance is).
You may want to correct the tabs while you have access.

Looking good Paul It seems the H1 wasn't the only kawi to have center stand issue.Both my A1ss and A7ss have bent stands and after looking at some other photos of the A series they have the same issue. Both wheels flat on the ground. My A1 samurai had the rear wheel off the ground..

Both my 1969 and my 1971 H1s would lift the rear wheel while on their center stand.
Its the tabs (stops) at the front of the welded on mounts that get bent fwd. As I said, its usually caused from people sitting on the bike while on the stand, or trying to rock the bike off the stand while sitting on it.
If memory serves me correctly, the fwd edge of these mounts should be a straight line, not skewed fwd where the stop tab is.
A properly functioning center stand is a great aid to service the chain or remove either wheels etc...

Scott/Paul: Just to point out another couple of possible reasons for the center stand not raising the bike up like it should. The mount holes can get "wallowed out" by the Owner not keeping the bolts tight and also the stand itself can actually be bent forward by "excess weight" on the bike while it is up on the center stand.

If a repair is being considered: I'm guessing, whatever the cause, the stand's feet are sitting about 7- 10 degrees (2+ inches) fwd of where they sat when new..
