Installed the GIVI #ES1111 sidestand foot. Perfect fit. Nice and snug. Used loctite on the screws.
This looks like the ticket to keep it from sinking into soft dirt or gravel! It looks like the foot is about 3X the surface area of the stock sidestand.
Also installed the SW-Motech soft luggage adapter plate. Had to remove the ALU-Rack and install the 1/4 turn recepticals on the underside. Then bolt it back onto the rack arms.
The luggage plate snaps on with three 1/4 turn fasteners. They provided rubber washers to go between the rack and the plate to protect the paint from scratches.
There is some flex in the plate as it is basically a sheet of thin aluminum, but it looks durable for its intended use.
Next: I need to figure out the Pros vs Cons of removing vs using the Honda bar inserts before I start installing the Barkbusters hand guards.

IMHO leave the original bar inserts in, no disadvantages noticed so far but a big advantage on the install! I have the Kobra's and just left them in.
