Kickstand skid
Motorcycle stand pads, also known as "stand pads" or "stand pucks", are devices used to support the motorcycle when stationary, particularly when parked on a side stand or center stand. These pads are designed to provide a stable surface and prevent the stand from sinking into soft surfaces such as hot tarmac or grass.
Here are a few points to consider about motorcycle kickstand pads:
Material: kickstand pads are generally made of durable plastic, aluminum or composite material. Some may also have a rubber section for extra grip.
Shape: They often have a circular or oval shape and are designed to fit the base of the side stand.
Installation: Stand pads are easy to install and remove. They are usually attached to the base of the side stand with screws or bolts.
Prevention of denting: They prevent the stand from sinking into soft surfaces, reducing the risk of motorcycle rollover.
Stability: By providing a wider base, kickstands improve stability when parked.
Universal use: Some kickstands are universal and can be used on a variety of motorcycle models, while others can be specifically designed for particular models.
Easy to transport: Because of their compact size, kickstands are easy to transport and can be stored in a saddlebag or toolbox.
Colors and Designs: Some kickstands are available in a range of colors and designs, allowing riders to personalize the look of their motorcycle.
The use of kickstands is particularly useful on uneven or unstable surfaces. They are often used at events such as motorcycle competitions, where bikes can be parked in a variety of conditions. They offer a simple and effective solution to prevent problems caused by the stand sinking into the ground.
