Lightbulb Sidestand smartphone app

I sometimes park on gravel or dirt. To keep my cycle from tipping over HD sells this Jiffy stand coaster pad.


But if you really want to save some money, I found that AeroStich sells this Side-stand app for smartphones for only 99 cents.

They say it works with most makes of motorcycles.

People who buy that app aren't very smart. I've found my phone holds my bike up just fine WITHOUT the app!

I keep the the Harley coaster in my side bag. Works great on when you don’t have a choice to park on gravel or dirt. Also prevents kickstand sink when parking on fresh road tar in the hot summer.

Where do you guys put the coaster for convenience for quick access?
I'm running out of pockets and placing and retrieving while still sitting on the bike is a PITA.

I would have used the Harley coaster thing but I was told it only works with the fuel injected models...
