    I would throw out a "caution" to any aggressive riders who have an interest in adding a sidestand pad. Any of the ones I've seen that add width to the leading edge (that's pretty much all of them) will seriously drag in the corners. While the Rivco pad I experimented with was beautifully made and a quality piece, it severely impinged on cornering clearance. Even after grinding off much of the leading edge, it was still a problem and had to be removed. Of course, if you're not an aggressive rider, maybe it's not so much of an issue

    Yeah Ken , so far my side stand with the oversize foot doesn't drag. I've tried , but no luck.
