My insurance agent gave me this one..about 4" square. I have another one from a lawyer, that's about the same size, but octagonal. That one is ORANGE...hard to leave it behind.

Yeah..the idea is to put it somewhere on the bike so that it will be there when I need it, but not in the bottom of a bag taking up space...

I going to cut a cardboard template tomorrow, then look around for some scrap to mark and cut for the plate, then use some more card for the holding bracket..If I do it right it should look like part of the sissy bar.

to deface a national icon like that never.......it would never cross the mind of any hockey person to deface a puck like that......

So send me one and I'll send you back the cold you've sent down,back.You could even put your John Hancock on it to make it that much more meaningful. ;D

The good O'l hockey puck works great.I hav'nt got around to doing this yet,but I'm thinking if you notch the puck out for your kick stand to go in,but leave a little in the front as a stopper.Works great for tailgaters as well.Great multi tool LOL

I have a round plastic disk with a hole in the lip on a string. I usually keep it in my windshield bag on the drifter. In the garage I have a piece of billet chromed that I used for some project.

On the Goldwing I have one of these...

I have a piece of 1/4" steel that's about 6" squared that I painted black.  It sits in the bottom of my left saddlebag until I need it.

Personally, I just use a piece of plywood, kind of pentagon shaped; left over from some project. But, that being said, I am kind of fond of aluminum tread plate; looks nice, about 1/8" thick, weighs almost nothing. I have been mulling that over this winter; as soon as I am done with the hand shifter/clutch combo, (no, I haven't forgot about it; been under the weather for some time now,) might cut one out and figure out a jiffy-mount for it.  :D

Regards and such,

Although not pretty, actually it is black so looks mean zilch, I cut a 3/8" piece of hard rubber in an oval shape about 3" by 2" and keep it in my windshield bag. I use it all the time under my kickstand and has never let me down when parked on a soft spot.

  Some type of clip on or snap on with a plastic link, right off the brain, let me mull on this one for that day......

I hate to reinvent the wheel and I have done a quick search..so here's the thing!

I want to make a kickstand plate so that if I park my drifter on grass the kickstand won't sink in and topple the bike..

I know I can carry a piece of wood but I wanted something slightly more elegant..

The idea is to fit something to the bike that won't look like a pigs ear that I can easily remove to slip under the kickstand to enlarge the footprint..

After looking at the bike the sissy bar seems the best place to store it and steel may be the best material to use..

Now I can cut the steel to fit under the sissy bar pad but I am looking for some attachment ideas that enable a quick release..my idea is a bracket with a center threaded hole and a wing nut..

Anyone have anything better..

John.
