I've done the hockey puck thing. It works but it wears out since it's rubber. I didn't bother replacing it. It needs to be shaped somewhat carefully so that the side stand goes up fully. (At least on a K1100RS with a Staintune.)
The best I've seen is the side stand that came on my turbo K75. Some prior owner welded about a 2/3" thick piece of solid steel onto the foot of the side stand.
