BWF. I don't think what your trying to achieve will work. Even if the Tubus kickstand will go on the right side of the bike it would not be symmetrical. The left side would kick forward to go down and the right side would kick backwards to go down.

On a 26" wheel you could extend the kickstand so the bike is not leaning. If you had two kickstands on either side this would keep it from falling either side but they wouldn't strike the ground at the same point so lifting it off the ground would just result in the handlebars twisting.

FWIW i have never dropped my bike on the non kickstand side so i'm not sure you would really need a kickstand on the right side.

Hope this helps you.
