Title: Bored at work, so I made a "foot" pad for my kickstand Post by: justin-branam on June 01, 2011, 02:38:24 PM Went on my first ride this weekend and we had to park in a dirt lot. I was weary of my bike falling over and I also don't want my garage floor to get scratched. Knew I needed a support plate for the kickstand and figured I could just make one myself. I know it's nothing fancy, but the guys at the shop thought it was funny, so figured I would share it with you all too. The material I made it from is 3/4" thick HDPE plastic.
It may be hard to see int he picture, but the toes and toe nails are there.

a while back somebody produced a kickstand with a duck foot. i wonder if they are still around. Title: Re: Bored at work, so I made a "foot" pad for my kickstand Post by: vossy on June 01, 2011, 03:19:47 PM cool! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Bored at work, so I made a "foot" pad for my kickstand Post by: seevtsaab on June 01, 2011, 04:23:07 PM I have a Desmo Times stand coaster JB Weld-ed to a hockey
puck. It stores between my gauges and fly screen. Helpful when parking on iffy surface or plain flat - my stand seems woefully short. I take it that foot isn't permanently attached?

It's about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. This one will probably stay in the garage. I have a design for a smaller 5x5 one of the Ducati logo, and I have some red and white plastic, that I may run tomorrow so I can have one small enough to carry on the bike somewhere.

Shouldn't it be the left foot on the kick stand side?

Shouldn't it be the left foot on the kick stand side? Hahahaha, because I don't pay attention! I also added the Ducati logo one. Its smaller so I can carry it around. |
