kickstand foot not wide enough....

Is the shape of the Gen-3 kickstand base any different from the Gen-2?
These are a couple bucks. Called a Kickstand Extender on eBay or Amazon. I keep telling myself to get one due to my dumbass off-road excursions I've been known to do with the Busa.

I do like the R&G piece. I wish I had a local spot to pick it up.
A crushed can always works!

I‘ve forgotten one of those somewhere in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Avenue of the Giants….
That's what I was going to recommend, but I refrained, thinking, "that's not bling enough for this highfalutin crowd".
Maybe there is a carbon fiber, titanium one hand crafted by a Japanese artisan on Webike Japan for 500 bucks or so?
That outta get me some brownie points.
LOL
cheers

P.S. "Aluminum diet pop can" considering the advanced age, most here are probably type 2.

there is a generic plastic kickstand plate which revzilla sells for 5-6 dollars I had bought for my Get 2 Busa and I use it for the Gen 3 now. It is an orange plastic piece with some ridges in it so that the stand doesn't slide over it. it is strong and works well. Great value for money.
I think that's the same as the one I got only mine was black...I drilled a hole in it and tied a piece of twine to it so I could pull it up when I take the bike off the side stand.

Yeah, I used to carry around a small piece of parquet for the same purpose. Often simply forgot to put it down. A bolted-on kickstand shoe is more reliable.

These are priced okay for what they are - for 23 bucks Canadian - Does it really matter!
Today you pay almost that for a pack of smokes - no?

I never had this problem even with an aftermarket side stand that is shorter than stock. The only time I ever worried was when I parked on gravel or new asphalt. I just carried one of those plastic plates in my pocket and stuck it under the side stand. I got mine from CurveyGirl. A chunk of 1/4" plywood would work fine too. If you have a metal floor in your shed or dirt, just throw down a sheet of plywood where you park.
just had the bike roll over on the kickstand!!!! scratches on the left fairing, broken clutch lever, foot peg, scratches on the exhaust heat shield!!! now i am looking for the kickstand shoes

`i dont think the larger foot will solve the problem in fact it may make it easier for the bike to roll off the side stand ,this seems to happen regular , my 2010 gen 2 did when i was blowing up the rear tyre same damage as you, hth4re is a simple mod to do on the side stand did mine on friday i also did it on my last busa i posted a video of the modjust had the bike roll over on the kickstand!!!! scratches on the left fairing, broken clutch lever, foot peg, scratches on the exhaust heat shield!!! now i am looking for the kickstand shoes

I've never have been concerned with my bike falling over on the kickstand, I figured all of our bikes would be more/less the same.
I parked on the side stand for literally 2 min to run back to get something.. it was windy and the handle bar was not turned in to the lock position … the bike just walked over and fell to the left. Costing me about $1000 to change all the scratched plastics, broken clutch lever, footpeg, scratched mirror housing, bar ends, scratched exhaust heat shield etc.. aft this, i ordered a frame slider and kickstand shoe from R&G along with the Oem suzuki parts from partzilla

I don't get why or how Suzuki has yet to fix this issue on these bikes. 20+yrs later and most still have the same issue with, the same dang kickstand design.
