I have a 3" round brass drain cover I found. Have it hooked to a small chain like ya use on a screen door. Don't have to bend over to pick it up that way.

Hey Man! Sorry you're getting beat up on this. This is actually one of our best selling products and those who have it swear by it.

A year ago we decided to take it off the market because production costs were too high to make any profit. (For those on here who think material and production is so easy and cheap) But we actually had a lot of emails and calls that we should just price it at what would work and keep making it because it's their favorite product we make. So that's what we're doing.

It's not for everybody, but it sure is for a lot of 'em. You will appreciate your KickShoe and the HDForum discount price puts it at $89.95.

Not too long ago had this testimony on Facebook:
"True Story: My husband, Haus has the Kickshoe on his bike. Before our transfer to the VA in Asheville, NC he worked for the VA in Charleston SC. The summers in Charleston get HOT! During the summer of 2012 the VA decided to re-blacktop the employee parking area. The new blacktop got so hot the first day they were allowed to use it that motorcycle's kickstands were melting into the asphalt and falling over like dominos. The VA ran out and purchased plates for the employees to put under their kickstands. Haus never needed one... his was the only bike that didn't have a problem with the new asphalt! So to heck with waiting on someone to give you one as a gift... buy one for yourself! Summer is on the way!"

No worries man. I sweat the big things in life. I'm looking forward to getting quite a bit of use from your product and just to let you know I did find cheaper products out there but I feel you get what you pay for, so I went with the best. Thanks again.

I find it kind of funny that people are busting others for buying this and call it money wasted, but they'll say nothing about guys who buy 4 sets of slip-ons trying to find the perfect sound, losing $100 on each set when they dump them on the used market...and that's just one example...c'mon!!!..

I have had one of these for 3 years... one the BEST things I ever bought for the bike.
I'd rather spend $100 on that than on a chrome doo-dad that doesn't do ****.

I NEVER have to worry about where I park. I don't have to contort myself to pick up a puck....or wind up a string or cord..... I don't have to wonder about where I put the puck when I change jackets or where it is when I don't wear one.
I just pop the kick stand up and I'm ready to go...I watched two of my riding buddies dump their bikes (one on grass, one on muddy gravel) because they forgot to drop the puck out first....I wish they made one for my Buell..although I could get away with not using one a lot more with that bike because of the lighter weight.

I'd buy it again if it fell off tomorrow.

Its gonna scrape and then rip off after awhile. I made a stainless piece about that size and that's what happened. Bike was stock height.

Mine has been on since about 2010 and has yet to scrape or fall off......Guess yours was inferior to the product we're talking about...
