I agree with you both, got a clamp on foot on my CB500X and it helps in soft sand or grass, but the added size, if too large, causes problems when the stand is up. On the other hand, often just choose my parking as well as I can ,or savage something laying around. Had a Honda CB350 fall over one hot summer when the stand sunk in asphalt.
This a bit of a hassle, but you might have to try this: Make a tracing of your side stand foot, then visit some local dealers and compare your tracing to motorcycles that do have side stand accessory feet.? Vstrom, Africa Twin, several GS¡¯s, etc.? I¡¯ll bet something¡¯s close/
Or have a welder add material to your existing stand.
I¡¯ll admit I¡¯ve never had that much of an issue with my W650.? The flattened can/side stand puck has always worked for me.
