accessories » What everyone's preference for side stand foot enlargers?

2016 r1200rs, looking for opinions and where to purchase side stand enlarger.

I googled and got a few makers foot enlargers but I'd prefer to get a consensus from members who've bought one and whether they are happy before I put out the cash for one.

Thanks

Since all these gadgets (as far as I know) increase the overall length of the ridiculously long sidestand and make the bike even more likely to end up lying on its side, personally I wouldn't consider fitting one - at least not without addressing that issue with an angle grinder or whatever...

Can your pal weld? Cut a piece of mild steel to an appropriate shape and weld it on to the existing foot.

The trouble with grinding the stop is that the stand moves even further forward. Being challenged on leg length I sometimes struggle to kick it back up.

I am leaving it as is. I religiously switch ride height to "Max" when parking up to avoid dropping the bike but that adds to my difficulty in kicking the stand back up as I am on tip-toe until I can reduce the height which I can only do with the engine started which really requires the side stand up!!

Go canny when it comes to foot enlargers. Grinding the stop will only shorten the effective stand length by about 5mm, you don't want to reduce that by fitting a thick plate.
