I had problems operating side stand, ordered a universal mirror and cut down to suit. Fitted 3mm thick rubber sleeve between clamp and side stand and it works great.
The first time I went for the stand I was like, "crap... did it fall off?!!?" Even to this day I still have to look down and use my heel. Maybe in another 5,000 miles I'll get it figured out. Its funny how I suck at the silliest things in life. at least its not the important things. oh wait...
