Motorcycle Kickstands

Having a High Quality Motorcycle Kickstand to Say Goodbye to Kickstand Problems

Why do you need a quality motorcycle stand?

Prevent kickstand sinking into Asphalt

If you have ever had a bike that had a faulty functioning motorcycle kickstand, then you know what a pain in the ass this can be. Going around a corner to be startled by the “ting, ting, ta ta ting ting…” of your limp kickstand dragging on the ground is a bit unsettling. Thoughts instantly come to mind of that kickstand catching to the perfect groove to send you tumbling down the asphalt, and that is not a very comforting feeling. Not to mention you look like a complete dork with your kickstand dragging on the ground behind you everywhere you go.

A proper kickstand lets your bike stand anywhere

The other common issue with motorcycle kickstands is when you do something cool with your bike and the kickstand no longer works. For example, you lowered your motorcycle suspension to get that sweet lowered look, but now every time you park your bike you give yourself a bit of a heart attack. Your kickstand is too long now and is almost pushing your bike over. You find yourself staring at it with anticipation of a gust of wind coming and blowing your bike right to the ground.

Thick kickstands are easily to hold more weight

The opposite problem is when you add some suspension to your bike. Maybe you like to travel and occasionally add a lot of luggage weight to the bike. So, you added some beefed-up suspension and now your kickstand is too small. This might be the most feared problem for all the male bikers in the world. A small kickstand just won’t get the job done. Sometimes when you are sitting on the bike you can’t even find the stand with your kickstand foot. When you do finally find it, your bike will want to fall over everywhere you park it, and you will just have a very lonely life.
