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
So let me tell you of my experience. I also was in the same position as you were I thought I needed a side stand foot in larger. I went ahead and bought a Wunderlich foot enlarger (which I think I actually still have, if I can put my hand in it you can have it). Anyway I put the foot enlarger on and one fine day when I was washing my bike I was washing the left side of the bike and bike tipped over and fell on the right side damaging the brake lever. the mirror, and the bar end.
Our side stand is too short to accommodate a foot enlarger. I do not recommend using one, unless the side stand is shortened. That said, I do have a plastic disk that I can use under my side stand of parked on mud. It is much larger than any fixed side stand enlarger and spreads the load better to the soft earth below.
I'm having the stand stop ground down a little for me so it leans over further, I'm also afraid of the bike falling to it/s right side. PM in bound sir.
