Does anyone know if the kick stand foot on the 1200 multi is the same as a 696? thinking of taking some trips this summer, and might be in sandy areas

I don't have an answer for your question, but that sure isn't going to stop me from chiming in...

I use one of these guys for less than perfect kickstand terrain:

Upside: Cheap
Downside: You can lose 'em

Yeah ive got one of those too for assssssfualt

This one works better:

...because it says Ducati on it!!  [thumbsup]

I used to have one that came with the "members kit" from TOB.

Sadly, it got lost somewhere between Kansas and Kentucky.

If it turns out to be a hot commmodity, I'll have to consider selling one of ours for a premium!!!  [cheeky]

ive ground down both my foot on turns. :P i use a plate. but since NYC and its surrounding area has so much garbage and large rocks i jsut sue that.

I welded a duc foot to mine, no pics yet (powdercoating) will post when I get it back. Added about a 2" foot print.

yeah i have the red one, came with the duc that came with a $10K ducati t shirt

solution, I keep one in my jacket pocket for gravel and whatnot

I got in the habit of carrying a (cleaned) crushed coke can... or you could use pepsi, but they lost the taste test.

plus if I left it ... i just drank another to get a replacement

Where can these be purchased?  Also why is there a little hole drilled thru it?  Is that where you would mount it with some sort of screw to the bottom of the kickstand foot?

any bike shop really, mainly used to prevent melting of ashfualt and dropping your bike. i came out one summer here in CO and my bike was over 2" into the parking lot, leaning hard! No idea what the hole is for, mine doesn't have them, laniard?

that is amazing.

Similar to the pic above. I made it myself and had a welder at my shop weld it. Adding the 1/2" of height made it kinda tricky to get the angle right. All and all I'm happy with it. Will post pics soon.

im curious.  to those will the kickstand pads, did you attach it to your kickstand?  or do you pick it up afterwards?  I'd be find to pick up a flat asphalt but I'm worried about the sketchy gravel and such. 

I'm worried I would slip and drop the bike. 

Anyone just doublestick tape it?  I would just probably use the 3m red outdoor doublesided tape.  I figure the weight of the bike only increases the adhesion.  Thoughts?  experience? 

I know I could weld something but i don't have access to a welder.

thanks

The kickstand pads you just pick up and pocket when not in use.

+1

if theres a fabrication shop nearby you can have any shape/size you want..

WANT!

why are the two header pipes coming from the front of that bike?

turbo'd

i dont believe you, pictures..

I wondered who lost that on 70.  Score 1 for Missouri :)

Love the inspection plate too. Where do we pick these up or is it a custom jobbie too?

I know, I always thought that was a nifty little addition. In fact, that got more attention that some of the high-mod stuff on his bike.

This is what I came up with. Its more cartoonish (http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/scduc/2011-04-13_20-36-44_890.jpg)

where did you score that?

probably made it

 [bang] [bang]
dam, I want one. this will be the last mod ever.....yeah right.

Yeah, I made it myself. I basically drew it up on Autocad and then took the stock foot print and machined an oval in the new foot. Then welded it in place. It gave me an extra 3/4" of hieght. Which is good. I did have to play with the angle though in order to get the foot to sit flat. Then had it powder coated. I actually may try and make a couple in production mode. I will keep every one informed.

Dealer gave me this when I asked:

That particular DucFoot kickstand was made @6yrs ago.  Manually machined in my shop on the mill, cleaned up with the 4.5in grinder and then handfiled (by myself and Bill/TurboMonster).  Lots of work to make without question.

Over the years, I made @6 more of them -- as well as some DragonTails and RatFinks (60's Big Daddy Roth figurine) as well.  The biggest problem (besides time/labor) to build is getting that very large "base" footprint even on the ground.  Given each Ducati's suspension height (front/rear) is different -- and tire size -- each has to be individually fitted to maximize the benefit of the larger base footprint on the ground itself.

We used to send out an adjustable height jig that someone could install on their Ducati to get all the angles right -- and then send back to us to build the modified kickstand with large base.  Unfortunately after two jigs were non-returned (they weren't easy to make) -- I ceased building more and modifying kickstands.

Bill / TurboMonster later made a run of large DucFoot bases that were cnc'd -- they look different then the handmade (artistic) ones.  He sold but very few were made as the buyers then had to locate a local welder and walk him through how to install and weld (and not fry an ECU due to grounding or High Frequency TIG issues)

There is definitely a marketplace for someone if they wanted to build more!  Just remember that the fitment issue for a remote customer is the largest challenge to address in making.  Last thing you want to do is modify a customer kickstand and then ship back/forth numerous times "guessing" how to get the footprint flat on the ground.

Also be careful in the size / orientation of the footprint itself -- when in the "UP" position, it can hit the rearsets, exhaust or even the swingarm itself depending upon orientation.

+1 - under $1.50 ea in the electrical section at Home Depot or Lowes.

If you want to get fancy you can lay down some spray paint with a protective sealer or look up your local painter for something that looks better than a rattle-can.

My kid wound up with a bagfull from the local minor league team. They fit nicely in a jacket pocket.








///one of my HD buddies commented that it would make a great "BACK OFF" projectile if released into the windshield/front bumper of an aggressive tailgater... I hope to never find out, but I can see his point.

I use the same.  Also helps stand the bike up some since I've raised the rear end.
