Could be.. Just at the right spot!

Serendipity!

I drill two holes in sidestand pad.  Made an aluminum extension.  Drill two holes and threaded in aluminum extension that lined up with sidestand holes.  Attached extension to sidestand with screws.  No glue.

I just used a $3 hockey puck and two 10-32 screws. Total cost $4 and I got a 1" rise and a 3" diameter fad so the bike does not sink into the earth when parked on drit/grass/gravel.

I did the same thing two days ago. Much better so much easier to mount the bike from the peg without the bike leaning over so far. The Mandello manual cautions against putting excessive weight on the side stand. So with the bike being more vertical the weight on the stand is reduced especially with all my excessive camping gear on the bike.

I similar bought a hockey puck recently for my V7 III after installing the NTX forks and 21” wheel. The best part is—our bikes are now officially sanctioned by the NHL. Ready to hit the ice, just need the studs/screws!

After testing my new sidestand on asphalt and then on gravel, it failed in gravel. The double face tape, no matter how strong it is can’t hold up to the sheer forces exerted upon it. So I ordered a hockey puck, got the right taper bolts, and nuts, and with some drilling,cutting and JB weld I finally solved it. Thanks for the hockey puck idea.
