Excuse me for being a pessimist, but why do you want that?
That bike isnt that heavy
As I remember there were not made any centerstands to the XT350...
I have owned one for myself, XT350-55V, 1985, the 15th first in sweden, 130kg, 23kw. Great bike. Regret that I sold it...
Suggestion:
If you want more stability when parking for example in dirt, you could weld a plate with larger area att the end on your sidestand.
But maybe you want to use it for easier overhauling/service?

That is exactly the reason. Overhauling and space in the garage. That is th eonly reason. Once I saw on a site a guy who created one from scratch> But unfortunately I have forgotten where I saw it.

Ok!
If thats the case my best sugestion would be a service-stool from your local offroad-motorcycle dealer. A one you just place under the engine and then press down a handle that will rise the bike up enough to set the wheels in the air!
In my opinion the bike isnt qiute stable on that... But it works for service.
