I've just taken delivery ok a BikeTek paddock stand - meant to be a decent one, too. The instructions indicated that the leg marked "R" had to be fitted to the side of the stand similarly marked but - when it was fully assembled - the right leg is about 1-1.5" longer than the left leg.
The photo below isn't the result of angles or optical illusions, it actually is that much longer.

Given the instructions and stand markings I’m wondering if this can possibly be intended - perhaps to ease the bike onto the side of the sidestand when you remove the paddock stand. Has anyone ever seen it before though, as I’m a bit worried about using it?
