    Good day all,

    I am searching for a well-made kickstand (side stand) puck.
    I previously owned a couple of different plastic pucks before, and neither of those lasted very long -- or worked very well.
    Now, I am looking for something made of metal.
    I have a suitcase MIG welder, so I have given thought of welding on a small plate to the bottom of the foot. I don't really want a permanent attachment -- just something to use while parking on softer ground.
    Anyone have personal experience with any metal kickstand pucks?
    If so, can you send me the website link?
    Thanks.

    24 oz beer can squashed flat. :drink: [12oz is for kids, 16oz just a start]

    please dispose of can in an environmentally responsibly manner in strict accordance with EU and usa regulations. if you leave it behind, you just wasted 5cents and planetary resources.

    If you are just looking for inspiration to make your own then perhaps Google - R&G kickstand shoe.

    They are not cheap but they work and I had one on my 6th Gen which is now relocated to my 8th Gen. Unlike the squished beer can option it becomes part of the kickstand so it is always ready for use and of course it does not get left behind as litter. One tip the tiny grub screws holding the shoe in place can work loose - so use loctite thread lock.
