Any suggestions for a enlarged side stand foot, something that can be fitted to the ce04?

You're right the CE 04 has way too much lean to be safe. I was planning on coming up with something.
Here's what I did for my Honda NM4 it was like the CE 04 leaning way too much. I found this 1/2" aluminum block which was perfect. If you look close you can see the tiny base the stand originally had. I more than doubled the area on my new pad for grass and sand.

NM4, brave man based on a YouTube review I saw of the bike. A special project bike from the labs of Honda. Then again the Pacific Coast was not a hit until it was canceled.

Ghost thanks for the reply - not following you on the NM4. I still own the machine had it since 2014 never had an issue.
What was the Youtube video about or should I ask, since most all Youtube reviews are garbage and only exist for self-selfies and the penny's Youtube pays for BS clicks.

This might have been the review.
Though honestly I sort of go for the weird rides. Had a Pontiac aztek and wish I kept it lol

Exactly as I thought, another typical BS Youtube review looking not at the bike but the road for 10 minutes with goofy comments.
I've owned my NM4 for almost 10 years never witnessed any of the BS he mumbles about. Also the tank holds 3.70 gallons so the bike easily gets 250-300 miles. Thanks to its efficient 6 speed dual clutch transmission which shifts itself or manually. With its special tuned 745 cc engine and perfect aerodynamic design it gets 85-89 mpg.
The rider is sitting almost inside the bike to avoid drag, there is no airflow that hits your body. One of the best features is its comfort seat where the 15" passenger seat flips up to make a "Real" backrest that you can actually lean on when touring. Even with its aerodynamic design it still has two lockable compartments under the windshield and two lockable storage compartments aft to hold rain gear, water, air pumps, clothing, etc.
For being a decade old, she still turns heads and draws a crowd at "Two Wheels of Suches "when I take her up there.
Here's a few more images!

Yeah there's not an abundance of space but enough for my rain gear, air pump, water and gloves etc.
