Sorry for the clickbait title! I've noticed the 696/796/1100evo bikes have kickstands that allow too much leaning. This has bugged me for a while. Currently I use a brick to prop things up a bit in the garage. Would like my bike to be more upright when parked in the garage and not on the pitbull stand.

SSR makes longer side stand. That's what I got on my M1100S. Might fit on your M796.

Thanks for the tip- that's just what I'm looking for. I've sent them a query to find out if it will fit.

Looking at the parts diagram it may or may not fit.
A stock side stand from a Hypermotard 796 might be a more direct fit since they have the same side stand bracket (same engine crankcase) and should be longer that the one you have.

I had the same issue on my Multistrada 1100 and fitted a side stand from a Hypermotard 1100 Evo SP because they are longer.

The simplest way might be to add one (or two) sidestand feet.
My wife has a 796 which we have lowered to 696 ride height and also fitted a 696 sidestand. However she found that the bike leans over too far for her to comfortably handle. Going back to the 796 sidestand is not an option since that stand is too long for the new ride height and the bike would topple over the other side. We needed something in between and fitting first one, then two of these SAVAGE sidestand feet has done the trick. To fit the second one I had to drill through the screw holes of the upper one and then use longer screws to reach from the top plate down into the lower foot to hold the lot together. Its been working well for over a year.
Below is a link o an Aussie website and the postage to USA will be a killer, but Im sure you can find a stateside seller.

kforkeef- that's a great, simple solution! I found the same Savage brand on ebay for $11 each and ordered two. I noticed your wife's 796 in the photo has cool front rotors and some other tasty bits, would be nice to see more pics to inspire me and others as to the mods.

I just had another look at the sidestand feet I joined together and I remembered that I had to remove some of the metal from the bottom one. I used a Dremel and a file to remove the raised part that would usually (if it wasnt being double stacked and sitting on the bottom) fit around the sidestand's original foot. Because they are being double stacked, the second one isn't required. I hope that info hasn't spoiled your day, but Its been so long since I fitted them I forgot the exact details. If you dont have a Dremel you can still get the metal off by filing, since its just aluminium and will come off quick.

Your earlier posts were very informative - thanks

I took a close-up photo of the 'double-stacked' SAVAGE sidestand feet during a ride my wife and I went on today:

and I thought I would add a photo (from March 2021) of the rear-end of the bike which shows the 'extended chainguard' I made by cutting and joining two standard chain-guards together. Its about 2inches longer and reduces the amount of chain lube that gets flicked up onto the bike. Also in the pic are the Supersprox tri-metal Sprocket, the EBC rear rotor, the SC Project Silencers (lol), and the Wilbers rear shock.

cheers, K.

Rec'd the sidestand feet today, and being a Saturday I had time to get started. Used a belt sander to level things out. Just need to get screws at the hardware store. Fun weekend/pre-riding season mod! Also, chainguard looks like it should have been that way OEM

Two thumbs up for this mod! Works great. I like it for these reasons: 1) Stands the bike up a noticeable amount. 2) Adds a somewhat larger footprint to the sidestand. 3) Quick install and relatively inexpensive at less than $30 US total. Drawbacks: tools will be needed to grind/sand off some of the double stacked feet. Requires M5 x 16 screws to install.
