Any specific recommendation on a kickstand pad for the XX?

I used Loctite.  Not anti-sieze.

Was anything required for what you considered a solid fitment? It seems like the pad does not fit the contours of the stand. I tightened it up and after using it a couple of times it is slipping around. It looks like I may need to do some modification, but want to see what you did prior to proceeding.

Have you tried a tarp? 😉

Weird, while I noticed it was not a perfect fit, I found a "notch" or specific position that seemed natural.  I just went slow at tightening the screws in different ways until it sort of forced itself into a spot that is the most natural.  A few minutes of fucking around.  

 

 

 

 

 

Shit, I forgot to ceramic coat it, and now it's dirty.  Embarassing.

Perhaps I am just "use to it" ?

Never found the XX side stand to be a problem.

Big Suzi?   Differant story on many levels.

Footprint, Pad width and just can't stab it down like the XX without looking. 

Think I want one for Big Suzi.

You don't live in a place where pavement melts.

 

I've had the soles of my shoes stick to the ground in Bullhead City.  132 air temp and 200-ish pavement temp.

You should move North.

I'm sitting outside right now in a t-shirt and shorts.  You?

At the computor wrapped in a electric blanket.

Thinking about buying another for my bed.

I still haven't unpacked the one you sent me, but eventually it will be cold enough here.  Actually it is too fucking cold already, and I've had enough of winter.

Today -- high of 67, low of 38.

 

Sunny, might get Big Suzi out this afternoon. 

Perfect riding weather.

FYI, this might be a little too far North for you. 

Oregon would be better. Just sayin.

I spent a week in Portland for a job once.  Didn't see the sun even one time.  Around 9am it got slightly less gray and dark then returned to more dark and gray at 4pm.  That is some fucked up shit.
