Any recommendations on something to put under the kickstand when parked on ground that may cause the kickstand to sink (such as the shoulder of the road or a dirt parking lot)?
Usually at motorcycle shows they give them away for free. i know i have couple from dairyland insurance and progressive gave them away at the sucker punch booth.
Harley sells a pad to go under it or you can pick up freebies at many of the bike shows, usually from the insurance companies. Or... cut a square of plywood and throw it in your saddlebag.
soda/beer can.
I did 7000 miles, 3 weeks with a flattened Mountain Dew can i found at my first stop of the trip.
Good to carry with you so you have it if you have to pull over side of the road...get way over on the shoulder and onto the soft stuff.
Keep mine in my left hand rear crash bar soft bag
at home in the garage I use hockey pucks, multiple bikes ( 5) in the garage, so the puck makes them stand up straighter and take up less room.

I cut a 4"x5" piece of 1/8 stainless plate. I bent one end up at about a 45degree angle and sanded all of the edges. I have given some of these away to friends and they all love them. I use mine a lot. Works great!
