It's strange your frame has the built in kickstand. If I remember correctly the models with the DX frame during that time had bolt on stands. Did you get the serial date off that serial number look up or off the serial chart?

I've seen lots of post war DX models with the built kickstand. I have three of them myself.

The OP said his DX was a 1953 model and at that time those had bolt on stands and rolled stems. Turns out his was actually an early 45-46 model.
