Kickstand to short

[bryanchurch06]

With the 300 rear tire my kickstand is to short for a loaded bike and uneven terrain, bike fell over again today because of it thinking of finding a welding shop and see if they will lengthen it for Me, anyone done this?

A kickstand foot enlarger might be quicker and less expensive

Any more mini disasters during the day?

If you could find a piece of wood or thick plastic for to put under the foot of the stand, that could help with the stability and height. A 1x4” piece of wood, maybe about a foot long would fit under the center stand. You can wedge it a little to make it more level. That and just reducing the loaded weight of the bike will help too.

A flattened beer can works pretty well…. But then you forget it, and need to have another beer

I have a KIJIMA Side Stand Wide Plate on mine to add a bit of height and footprint. Still I try to use the center stand whenever the terrain allows for it, especially in the mountains where it can get pretty windy.

A cheap solution I've seen on a few budget dual sport bikes is to just drill 4 holes in a hockey puck and safety wire it to the existing sidestand foot. With the shape of the foot on the CT125 you could probably use safety wire or hose clamps to attach just about any piece of stock to it for some added height.
