 Saw a lad who had one for his sport bike as it had a really narrow side stand. He also solved a problem I see with them. You have to bend over to pick it up, might be hard with the bike parked on it........well this young lad had it tied with a bright green string......and he dropped the foot lined it up and parked then he tied the string to the handlebars. Now I thought that was cool.....

I stopped on the side of a dirt road a few years ago and the kickstand sunk in - bike fell over in slow motion - no damage but I have been thinking someday I'm going to weld a bigger foot on it and maybe a hook to grab it with my foot easier. Kind of like what Harley has for their bikes.

I put in a tool bag where my regulator was, but now I'm having trouble getting my kickstand down; there are no custom kickstands for the Vulcan models.  My thoughts are as follows:

1) buy a casting and bolt it to my kickstand foot to allow my foot to catch and pull down the kickstand, or
2) cast an object with nuts already embedded.

Either way, I would have to drill out 2 holes in the foot and put in a couple of flush mounting SS bolts from the bottom.

My question is would this hurt the kickstand?

I wouldn't be opposed to putting in some JB Weld to hold it all together.

I'm open to thoughts, ideas, alternatives...
