As you guys all know the biggest problem is the wife reading the bank statement, so this new cream has Mezo`s super high power chilli extract inside & the idea is when the wifey is reading said bank balance you rub this cream in to both her eyes thus causing temporary blindness & allowing you enough time to leg it out the door. :lol:

Have you had that centerstand mounted when the bike was fully assembled?

The reason for me asking (besides being curious) is that I have a similar albeit slightly different centerstand on my bike, also worth mentioning that it's not a 3AJ but a 55W. So this may or may not be applicable here.
But anyways, my centerstand is slightly offset to clear the swinger and the rear wheel. It mounts on the inside of one of the pegs and on the outside of the other. If mounted improperly it will foul the wheel in upright position. Though the 3AJ frame might be slightly wider at the bottom compared to a 55W, I have no clue.
Just wanted to share my experience with centerstands even if mine is different.

I want to aplogize for any unclarities in my writing, I feel that I lack some words to properly explain what I really mean but I hope that the above is readable and above all understandable.

No idea if the 3aj is wider or not, but with this stand there's no allowance for it to fit a different way ie: no space between frame and stand to mount pegs.
