A Side Stand Enlarger increases the contact area of the original side stand. This distributes the weight of the motorcycle over a larger surface, preventing the stand from sinking into soft or uneven ground. In this collection, you will find model-specific Side Stand Enlargers for various motorcycles.
The original foot of a side stand is often relatively small. On a solid concrete floor, this is usually not a problem, but on grass, gravel, or soft ground, the stand can slowly sink.
An enlarger increases the surface area on which the stand rests on the ground. This better distributes the pressure and makes the motorcycle stand more stable on various surfaces.
A separate base plate can use the same principle but must be placed and stored each time. A Side Stand Enlarger stays attached to the motorcycle and is therefore always immediately available.
This makes the part practical for commuting, motorcycle holidays, camping, and adventure use. Even on hot asphalt, the larger surface can help prevent the stand from pressing into the ground.
The shape and dimensions of the original side stand foot vary per motorcycle. A good enlarger fits closely around it and is mechanically clamped with a top and bottom part or a similar construction.
Always choose a version for the correct model and year. An enlarger that is too large or incorrectly shaped can move, twist, or make contact with other parts.
Side Stand Enlargers are often made from CNC-machined Aluminium, stainless steel, or a combination of both. Aluminium keeps the weight down, while steel fasteners can offer extra wear resistance.
A raised edge around the original stand foot helps prevent the enlarger from shifting. The exact construction and mounting materials vary by manufacturer.
Clean the original stand foot before mounting the enlarger. Place the parts evenly around the foot and tighten the fasteners diagonally. Use thread locking if prescribed by the manufacturer.
After installation, check that the side stand can be fully folded. The enlarger must not contact the chain, swingarm, exhaust, center stand, or fairing parts.
