Why have I lose Center Stand bolts twice?

That's good news.
Any chance the first shoulder bolts didn't have a long enough shoulder and pinched the stand to the frame?.
Just wondering. ......lm

I'm not really sure on that. I didn't install the first one, the previous owner did, and he ran it for 450 miles before it rattled out. Anyhow, the right side bolt doesn't have a washer on it, but it's on there good and tight so i didn't mess with it. It's got a cotter pin though, so I'll notice if it gets loose before I lose it.
I bet with a washer that side would soften up and the stand would "snap" back up more forcefully, it's just not really a concern for me to be honest.
