Lost Chain Roller Behind Kickstand

I have a 2011 EC300. On the last ride I lost the lower kick stand bolt. Does that kockstand lower mount include a chain roller? I thought it did but I can't remember. The GoFasters image shows there are bolts on each side of a chain roller.
 
Had this happen too.
Theres a bolt, a bushing, and 'roller' which isnt really a roller as such just a polyethylene or similar wheel . The wheel runs on the bushing. The predrillec hole in the bush is smaller than the bolt that needs to thread into the stand bracket.
Typical gasgas I guess. You could make a better set up if you wanted too.
 
Its actually a good setup, as the clearance allows it to continue functioning and not get fouled with dirt, and there is no ball bearing to seize or fail. The HDPE rollers seem to last for years. The bushing/spacer can wear out in a couple years but it doesn't matter much. Just Loctite it and all is good.
 
It is a far better setup than the roller bearing types that only last a season if your lucky. I had 5 years of hard running on my 125 with no issues.
