What are they called?

Want to purchase one of those pads that you put on the ground and rest your kick stand on. What are they called, want to order but can't find because I don't know what their "official" name is? Can anyone help? One guess per member please.

Almost lost my '72 Kawasaki with the stand sinking into the asphalt!

Want to keep mine very up!
Thanks in Advance!

Crush a pop can, it will work in most cases. Carry a hockey puck or even an electrical junction block cover plate. Cover plates are cheap and easy to replace if you forget it somewhere.

Go to the hardware store and get a steel cover for an electrical box.
Every bit as good as the "real" ones, the cost is about 75 cents and there are several sizes and styles to choose from.
While your at it, get a spare......incase you ride off and leave one behind. :cool:

Re: What are they called?

Another good idea would be using my wallet, then I wouldn't have to carry anything extra!

Thanks for the ideas so far. Think next time I'm in the area I will ask my Suzuki dealer, as I noticed he has all his stock on them. Just wanted to order online if anyone knows what they are called. :??:

I must admit that I have been having a little trouble "reading" you since you joined here.
The above sentence is a good example.

Was that meant to be a joke........or a jab at those of us who have suggested something other than the REAL thing ???
Or meant to be something entirely differrent.......or just a random comment, not meaning anything in particular ??

:??:

I thought that was the case but hard to tell sometimes.
These little things :cool: help convey the intent.
