Hey guys, I am looking for a puck or something to put under my side stand for parking in grass or soft surfaces. I found a few places that sell them but they are all overseas I dont want to pay $10 shipping on an $8 part.

what do you guys use?

Aerostitch sells some fancy ones, and I'd bet your local shop has some too.  TOB had some made with the meatball logo, shouldn't be that hard an item to find

I cut one out of 1by redwood trim I had laying around. Basically a 3-3.5in circle, approx .625 thick. Fits easily in the jacket pocket, Soft enough to allow the stand to "bite" a little, hard enough to hold up to the pressure... I just didn't like the idea of the sharper edges of a soda/beer can, tho in hindsight i guess i could have peened them over with a hammer.

I use the side-stand plate I got when I was a Ti member of the DML.  Works great, so while you are at the hardware store looking for some good materials, consider a high-grade plastic or some PVC or something.

The crushed soda can is probably your best bet if you are at all forgetful.  Or you can tie a string to whatever you use for a plate, and attach the other end to the handlebars.

However, I USE a CF one that is the Ducati logo...  Cool

you can get a steel cover for an electric outlet box at home depot for less than a buck.  they come in both square and "round" shapes.

And you can buy a few, so if are forgetful it's not a big deal.

I keep one in my jacket pocket and a few waiting in reserve in the garage next to where I park the bike.

Jeff @ monsterparts.com sent me one for free with an order I placed a while ago.  Get some accessories for your bike from him and get one free... everyone's happy.
