Aftermarket headers and exhaust means no more sidestand stopper. It just clangs against the frame when I put it up. Is there some sort of frame-mounted bumper I can install? Google shows lots of stuff for Harleys. Not sure what fits. Thanking you in advance

Sidestand stopper/bumper?

Put a piece of correct I.D. black rubber hose in a pot of boiling water to soften it and push it on to your kick stand where it's hitting.
I re-worked the tang on mine, bending it farther forward (when viewed in the up position) or farther up (when viewed in the down position) so it contacts the frame bracket for the rear headpipe mount when it's up. A length of fuel line was added to pad it there .....
I actually had to make the tang on the stand pictured above, it was totally missing when I got it. It ended up being a tad short (1st pic) so I welded a short M6 Allen to it and that allowed me to add the stainless acorn nut to the end. This extended the tang, holds the rubber on, and once removed, allows easy rubber changes.
