I had posted some time back that I ordered a Pad from CC that was for a Honda VTX, item number VTX013, but on the advise of JJ in the UK that it would fit a Valkyrie. Well, it won`t but it will with a little proding. Had to grind kickstand off on sides and top to get the pad to slide on. Raises bike up a little to help with those off camber parking lots.  cooldude Was it worth $44.90 total ?? It`s only money !! Wink

That extra footing will also help keep the kickstand from sinking into new or soft pavement during the hot summer...JTL   cooldude

I have an el' cheapo plastic kickstand support/pad.  Works great for me.  It fits and stores nicely in one of the pouches on my windshields' tri-pouch too.  Looks like this one.........

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

you guys pay way to much for your kickstand plates, i goto home depot or lowes and get the electrical cover plates they are like .42 cents a pop and will hold the fat girls weight even in soft sand.                but thats just me

I didn't pay anything for mine.  Got it free along with a t-shirt when I signed up for a local poker run.   Wink

Yes, that is the Rivco Pad I got. The picture does not show the flare at the bottom. I went with mainly to raise the bike up a little and make it easier to pull upright. It does reduce the lean somewhat.  Wink
