Halfords (and I'm sure others as well) do a plastic "side stand plate" for £1.99. Drilled and bolted to the foot of the stand it lasts virtually forever - I've got two, both over 10ys old and going strong. Unbolt it and (apart from the hole) you're back to std.
I'm beginning to think the "mincing bozo" look is the way of the future as the stone axe simple 400/600 singles are consigned to history. A quick gallop through the major players websites shows just two currently available in the UK (discounting "grenade tech" from KTM, the CCM voyage into the unknown and the reincarnation of the Raj from Enfield). Contrast that with the number of 800/1000cc adventure "soft roaders" flooding the market on the GS's coat tails - the new AT just looks like Honda's "me too" to me.
