jiffy stand coaster
hello
I have been riding solo, and have to park on unstable ground (sand and dirt). I bought a jiffy stand coaster so the kickstand doesn't sink. I put a string on it so once I'm on the bike I just pull it in. Only problem is it doesn't fit in the windshield bag, or the lowers. Can't turn around to put it in the saddle bags or the trunk. Any ideas where to keep it or what to do with it?
thanks

Will it fit in your pocket?
I use electrical box covers, on one of my older bikes I attached a clip to it so it would hang inside my saddlebag, I could reach it without getting off the bike. On my Ultra, it fits easily in the lowers.

lionsm13, how does it do in turns? I am constantly startling cagers as I grind through most left leans dragging my jiffy stand through. That would be my only concern with this product, other wise... awesome find!!! I have an ultra, so even when riding 2 up... I can usually tuck the pad between myself and the seat... or slip it in the slot for the back rest. (maybe some day I'll get one of those.)

Where is it that you have to park on sand and dirt? Can you not find a piece of old wood, bit of stone slab or something similar and leave it there? I have a jiffy coaster in my tourpak but must admit I don't use it very often.

a flattened soda/beer can works great,,,,,just leave it there and someone will recycle it. Do you park in the same spot ? Small carpet mats work fro me as I have a gravel entrance to my property. Maybe you could come up with some sort of leather holster to be sold with those?

+1 on the Kickshoe. Works great. You can see it on the bike in my signature photo.
