Kick stand pad enlarger

[Christiaan]

Has anyone found a good one of these that fit a 2020 H2 SX Se+? Can’t seem to locate one online that references a direct fitment…maybe this one would?

I ordered this one:

Will let you know how it fits once it arrives.

I use this.
Can confirm it fits.

I bought one and soon took it off. It stands the bike up too far, meaning it is close to vertical. A gust of wind comes along and you are in the market for some very expensive Tupperware. A forum member had that happen.

That's why I bought Brock's (overpriced) adjustable stand. I kept parking at places where I had to angle my bike differently just so it wouldn't tip. Now it has the opposite problem, but it's a far less common occurrence.

I've never really had an issue with the size of the kickstand foot, though. Even when I park in gravel/dirt/etc.

Totally agree.
Only wondering if they get picked up from sunken stands more or less often than when the bike is blown over in the wind.

Adjustable stand with a foot is probably the money.

I thought of that too (pad too thick), I have not taken my bike off the lift yet, however I went through this same exercise with my ZRX.

2 mods need to happen to have a safe kickstand, 1- file or grind the plate that holds the kickstand on the forward spot where the stand contacts the plate, take a little off at a time, yes this will place the stand more forward and it lowers the bike slightly when the stand is engaged, less chance of tipping over. 2- After the grind work, I will put the new pad in a milling machine and take off as much material as possible matching the new angle it has on the floor now.

As we all know everything has to be massaged.

Even though all of my wife's bike's hard bags and my packing bags come from SW-Motech and are super, heavy duty quality, I refrained from getting this pad enlarger for exact same reason. In places where you don't need it, the bike mostly is a little on the upright side, unless you look around for terrain more favourable.

I got me this nice plate, which on my travels is THE MOST EASILY accessible item, before getting off the bike.

"Das Sternchen"

I simply drop it near where it needs to go and kick it underneath the side stand.
