The big sump plug lies just in front of the side stand lug and is lower than the frame loop. Therefore lack of ground clearance would not be the cause of your holes, as the sump plug would grind off first, as well as the side stand lug itself.Looking over my slimline, I see no reason for holes to be in that area unless some PO put one there.SlickI see Rohan has beat me to the post. His explanation is a good one. The side stand lug on the Commando is known to be a problem, but as far as I know, that problem does not occur with the Atlas/Dommie side stand. Perhaps, some PO fitted a Commando side stand to the slimline frame by welding, and then it tore out for reasons cited by Rohan.
