kickstand pad

[dvaemakis74123]

Has anyone ever thought of or actually attached a kickstand pad to the kickstand permanently?

I was thinking that by attaching it to the kickstand I can avoid forgetting it, or wrapping the string or rope it is attached to.

I assume by kickstand pad you mean a pad to use to keep the kickstand from sinking into soft ground or hot asphault?
I always carry a small peice of plywood to slip under mine, if I forget it no big deal.
It would probably work to attach one permanantly, but to get one big enough to work it might be too big. It might not allow the stand to fold all the way, or it might stick out / hang down too low.
Somehow design one that will fold up. An extension that can fold when the stand it up, and pops out when you need it?

In even 100+*f temps my bike sitting in the sun on asphalt has never ever sunk. I don't think many do anymore,,at lest cruisers,,maybe the sportbike kickstand needs em.

OHHHHHHHHH trust me bikes STILL sink into asphalt

2 weeks ago while in Up State NY it was only 80 degrees at 10:00am I ran into D&D for an ice coffee when I came out my kick stand was 2" deep into that asphalt. Almost every M/C rally or event you go to now a days you see that Ins. booth or Law Office booth where they gave away tee shirts & kick stand pads for free lol I must have a stack of 20 of the things LOL alot of good they all do sitting on my desk at home.. lesson learned....

any body want one? I got green blue red & black ones...
