Kickstand Saver.
I was wondering if any Harley riders here use a kickstand saver everytime they park their bike? I bought a Biker Pad Products.com kickstand saver from J & P cycles, attached to a Kryptonite disc lock cable reminder, attached by a Bass Pro Shops ball bearing swivel. The only issue I have is finding a proper Velcro nylon pouch to mount on the bike that I can access while still sitting on the bike. And yes, I use it when I gas up too. Does anyone else use one or am I alone in this routine? I was curious.

I use one at my work cause I park on the sidewalk by my shop and they paint it to look like red clay tiles so I dont want to scratch it up. I keep mine in my saddle bag protector bag that mounts on the rail in front of my hard bags.

I use one if the ground is soft or the asphalt is soft or may get soft. Mine is a piece of plastic about 4 inches square with a small hole in one corner. I have some black fish line attached to the hole with the other end attached to an old key ring that stays in the left RG glove box. I lift the bike up. Pull the line to retrieve the thing and then wrap the line around it. It's mostly used when I part on grass.

You know, I think it is meant to save the floor not the kickstand. If the bike might fall over because the kickstand is going to bury itself or you might scratch that new paint job on the garage floor then I'd use it.

Dam I've been using beer cans all this time. Who'd thunk. But then to you have to look what I live in.

i cut a piece about 6x6 inches of lexan and i use that.. I used to use a piece of fiberglass that i had left over form a hot rod project but i let it go with my other bike and yes its to save the pavement and keep the bike from tipping over in soft stuff not to save the kick stand. I quit using beer cans cause id get drunk and just forget to use the stand altogether
