Givi ES1111 Kickstand Footprint Enlarger for Select Honda Motorcycles

There are two problems with this design. First, the lip on the existing stand makes it impossible to “sandwich” the existing foot and tighten the screws without additional shims to add to the thickness of the new foot. (picture 1) I had to take a grinder and reduce the size of the lip on the existing foot, just to get the short screws to bite into the new threaded foot. Second, one of the screws you need to tighten, is placed directly under the little arm of existing kick foot. So you can’t get a torx screwdriver (T25) on it at all. Same for a second screw which is placed behind the main arm of the existing kickstand! Looking from above, (picture two) you can’t see the screws and you can’t tighten them. I clamped the top plate down and it is finger tight for the picture! In summary, the screw placement is all wrong…it needs to be staggered and another 1/8″ of shim is required, Finally the screws should be longer by the depth of the added shim requirement.
