"If it a'int broke, don't fix it"? The Beemer RT that I rode had a shitty kickstand; broke on a regular basis. Way too light for such a heavy bike. The Tenere's seems ok. If anything, bolt a bigger footprint on for dirt.

I had a hockey puck on my last two bike’s kickstands and I actually liked how it looked. I dremeled the shape of the foot into the top so a single bolt would hold it without rotating, and counter sunk a place for the nut on the bottom.

Kinda looks like the length might be adjustable but they sure don’t really explain much about it. To bad it does not fit a Tenere, if it did I would be interested in trying one. If the length actually is easily adjustable I suspect they might actually sell very well.

I've looked at these before. Yes, it's just an adjustable height side stand. They do offer one for the Super Tenere, or so it appeared the last time I looked at them. They have a funky 'leg' that you can adjust for catching it with your foot when putting it down. Pay close attention to the range of adjustment before you buy one. IIRC, At max length, it's still shorter than the stock S10 side stand.
