Good question. I did a quick search at Performancebike and to my surprise, didn't find anything.
Try your local bike shop.
P.S. Real cyclists don't use kickstands......that's why God created trees and big rocks. Man didn't think there were enough of those, so he invented buildings, bikeracks, and lamposts as well. If you find yourself in the middle of the Sahara where none of those are available, just lay the bike down. No, sand in gears won't matter because you're screwed anyway. You're in the middle of the Sahara desert.

edit: calm down. the P.S. was just to entertain the other readers. I get most of my bike stuff at Performancebike.com, searched their website, found nothing. Your LBS (local bike shop) may have something in a bin..........
Seriously, even for a child, kickstands are much like your appendix. Personally, I find them annoying, because it encourages kids to park their bikes in the middle of the sidewalk where they're a hazard to others.
Yes, I have kids, in fact I have grandkids. I also have several trees in the yard that are much more stable and suitable for leaning a bike than any kickstand.

Why do road bicycle's have no kickstand?

It won't weigh the bike down THAT much
Answer
I agree they don't weigh taht much. The main point is they simply aren't needed. It just a piece of equipment that may get in the way and fail by getting in the spokes for example after a crash etc. MTB riders don't use them either for the same reasons. There's almost always something to lean the bike on. Heck half the kids with kickstands on their bikes drop there bike on the ground anyway.
