Why couldn't you just drill and tap a couple of holes in the existing kickstand foot and then use a couple of flat head screws counter sunk into the plate?

I'm concerned that the screw heads will be damaged and I'll be unable to remove it if I need to.

Hey Eric,
Well I have looked at this and basically this is what I would say. Tape a piece of cardboard to the bottom of the kickstand. Then trace around the foot with a pen. Then go out 1/2" all the way around in the shape of the bottom of the kickstand.
Does that make sense? I would say that would do it but I don't know how to attach it. 3/8" stock would be good.
Curt
Okay, I'll see if I can whip one up this weekend.
I will be out of town this weekend Eric, but I could ride down on the 4th in the morning if you wanted some measurements. That way we could be done early for afternoon plans. Let me know if you want me too.
Or...I have the bike here at work today and you could drive up here and take measurements. I am going to leave around 2 though.

Made Curt's foot thingie today. Took a lot longer than we expected and looks nothing like I thought it would.
It looks this way out of necessity - it had to look like this for clearance reasons. The next one I make will look cosmetically better and I already have an idea for it.
Coop - I didn't make yours today as this one took so long and I wasn't really happy with it's looks. It was prefectly functional, just looked a bit odd. I'll make a couple more, refine them a bit, and have a decent looking one for you and a replacement for Curt as well.
Curt can probably post better pics of it and let us know how it worked.

I think it's kinda purty. Works well although my ground clearance on that side is slightly less but it will shape itself if needed.
Thanks,

Eric, you're an artist!! Is the new one going to look like Marilyn Monroe? LOL!!
Unbelievable! :a13:
I was at an air show in Goshen Indiana this last weekend! Took time out to check out all the bikes in their special parking area! (My dad rolled his eyes. Go to an air show so I can check out MC's!:crackup ) Anyway, saw a lonely ST1300 there! (New sighting thread!) Low and behold, look what I saw on it's little side footy!:View attachment 19545:-D
I sent a pic of this to Earache! Hope it helps!! Sorry if it's too late.
I sugested that Earache make ones that say ST1100/1300! That way we could leave a signature foot print!

Yep Biddyman sent that to me the other day. Too big. It's the one for the wing. I like the one Eric set up for me just fine.

That's what I figured. I just thought that the pic might help refine the ones Earache is making. I think he should make them so that they say ST1100 or ST1300 so that we can leave a signature where ever we go!:clap2: Maybe a foot that spells "STOC"?
OP

Actually I think he is going to use a piece of billet round stock to make them. We looked at that and I think it's a good idea but he didn't have a big enough piece to make one. So mine is one of a kind Earache special but I just can't tell anyone. No one is reading this anyway so they won't know.

Unbelievable!:banghead:
Sorry about my rudeness! After PMing you and sending an e-mail, I forgot to say how good that foot looks!!!:clap2: Eh,hem: Foot looks great my man!!!
What is the material you are using if I may ask!

Unbelievably gracious of you to share your trade secret! In short, thank you!:bow1:It's all aluminum. That way it will shape itself over time.

Actually looking for a solution for my GF's '07 NT700VA which has a rather short side-stand, causing a weird leaning angle (requiring way wider parking spots as my ST1100), plus it's small base tends to sink into asphalt, so my GF is frequently fumbling with her "foot on a string" (with the obligatory "remove before flight" key-chain wrapped around the handlebar), I finally came across those guys...

Dunno about shipment costs to the US of A, but maybe you guys can organize a group buy?

The extension prevents the motorcycle from collapsing on soft ground when parked on the side stand. Made entirely of stainless steel and ABS/ASA, which stabilizes the stock footing inside. The kit includes a ready-to-install product, it does not require any modifications. Our products are...

That site has been posted a number of times but I don't recall seeing anyone posting about making a purchase or any sort of a review. I may have missed it if it's happened.
