I just made one. I used 3/4" square tubing, the original top part out of the factory kickstand (mine was steel), and made my own camel toe bottom.
I put a couple of slight bends to make it tuck up properly and not interfere with the wheel travel.
Original top piece (had to cut and grind the welds on the original to get it free to re-use.
Dimpled the 3/4 tubing to key with the original mounting head.
My version of a camel toe, works great on soft surfaces.
Welded on a bolt head to hold the spring.
Maybe I'll paint it someday. But it has been on the bike for a couple of years now. Works great, was cheap and a hell of a lot stronger than the stock one. Doesn't hardly weigh more than the original.

Here is a couple pictures of my kickstand. I bought a normal trail tech kickstand from online and fabricated a kickstand bracket. Sorry I do not have any closer images of my kickstand bracket. I will have to take some soon and post them for yall.
The kickstand bracket is made to fit on the bolt that holds the bottom chain roller and onto the side frame bold mount for the kickstand. The spring is pulled up onto the bolt for the sub frame mount with a tab that hangs out to grab it.
