If you make your own, make it a little longer than the stock one.  The factory made them just too short.

Different years had different length kickstands.  My 53 had a short one, the one that came on my 49, that I built thentrucknfrom was about 2 inches longer.  I put that one on my 53, and the bike stands up better.
