1 1/8" Flat washer, 3" O.D. Galvanizing was ground off on welded side.

7 square in. vs. less than 3 square in. Enough keep it from digging a hole to China.



Early TW "crow's foot" kickstand on the right. Late-model "flatfoot" style has slightly smaller foot, but easier to weld. Longer XT600 stand that I use on my TW on the right. The offset is neccessary for swingarm clearance when in the "up" position.

Good idea! Simple, easy, effective and best of all cheap. I am going to do it.

Actually I'd kinda like to see how others have solved the problem as well, short of throwing a glove under it.



I've seen a few feet made from hockey pucks and such. Put 'em up, if you got 'em.

Great idea! Thanks for posting it.

When I finished up my suspension mods I needed to lengthen the k-stand and wanted more surface area as well. A short section of pipe and some flat stock. The washer is a neat idea as you can do all your welding around the hole on the under side.. Gerry

Hey in New Mexico, at least where I ride, we are never far from a flattened aluminum beer can. Why weld when my fellow citizens work diligently to scatter kickstand feet throughout the riding "outback". You will forgive me if I don't provide a photo of a squashed beer can won't you? Tom

Extra points if you smash them on your forehead.
