will let you know.. should be this week.
I had one on my YZF. I agree, they are indeed outstanding. So much so that a made a bracket and mounted my YZF kick stand to my EC300! Was it worth the trouble? Absolutely

nice job...
Aw c'mon, I'm always looking for excuses to buy things like that 
But no need for welding here. I just made a bracket that bolts directly to the chain roller bracket and then down to the kick stand. The offset down diagonally was about 22mm+/- and about 18mm+/- out away from the frame. I just took a block off aluminum (with hacksaw and file) and whittled down to the correct fit. I will take a pic of the block if you like. The only mod to the frame was a little metal taken off of the bracket that holds the chain roller in order to get a good tight fit. I then measured, drilled, and tapped the holes (8mmx1.25). I used the same bolt for the chain roller but put it through the back side so it screwed directly into the new block.

Michael, that would be awesome if you could take a picture of the block! Me messing up a kickstand would be one of my cheaper projects... I just happen to have a test stand on the yz250 that I can borrow before buying a new one for the GG. I really appreciate the info on this!
Yes. The side stand is not designed to hold you and the bike up.
ps. This is an inside joke, as rgranger likes to sit on the bike( with the kick stand down) after a long ride.
