    I have SM wheels for my TE. I had my side stand shortened so it would work with the 17's. Now it perfect when in SM mode, but the bike teeters on the edge of falling over with the TE wheels on. So, using a 99cent hockey puck, I fashioned an extension.

    The shortened stand.

    Drilled and tapped matching holes in the foot, and bolted on with some M6 bolts.

    Haven't tried with the TE wheels yet, I may have to adjust the thickness a little and taper the bottom of the foot so it sits nice and flush, but it should work. It also a bit bigger at the bottom than the stock foot, and the puck hits the swing arm rather than the aluminium when putting the stand up, which is a bonus.

    That's great man- exactly what I've been envisioning for some time, but have been too lazy to do it. Nice job.

    Was originally planning on aluminium, but someone in another sides stand tread mentioned puck and stand in the same post, and a light bulb went off. The rubber was real easy to work with.
