  I do know that a empty crushed beer can were you fold the end in does an awesome job, so just carry a can of beer around with you and when you need it drink it , crush it and bingo a stand support.

Several years ago, a buddy of mine and I came out of the Canadian Tire store, walked over to our bikes; someone had parked their Harley next to ours. Problem was, it was a VERY hot day, he didn't put anything under his sidestand, and his bike was about halfway over on its side. Bob went back to the store but couldn't find the guy, so we pulled his bike back up and put one of our plywood plates under his kickstand. I wonder what he thought, when he came out and saw his bike on that piece of wood, and the rather large hole in the pavement right ahead of it.

Regards and such,

  you now are on the official no pants list.....for pictures........my comment on bag hunting will not be typed into the forum, but I am sure with your furtile imagination you can finish it. But it does make sense to have it attached to the side stand so you never have to find it. Great if you are in the areas were paved shoulders and a lot of parking lots are gravel, and really good for you people down south were the parking lots get really hot and the pavement heats up and gets soft. Also really good for our BigFoot Boy in BC with all the pine needles on the ground and the soft mountain ground whie he is out hunting up magic mushrooms.......

now that is cool and it is permanently kind of mounted to your ride....better then a defaced hockey puck.....and not having to dig around in a bag to find it....

Thought I also saw them in Black RATMAN.I'll keep my out for the mailman and my signed hockey puck,thank you.Besides what's the matter with digging around in a bag....about the only place you'll have to dig cause we know it sure isn't in your paints pocket.... :D :) ;) :o :o

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.
