[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 604897, member: 39764"] I came up with the lanyard idea after doing the same thing with one of my motorcycles. It's really heavy (the bike) around 700 pounds and the sidestand sinks in hot asphalt, sand, gravel, whatever and when it sinks, the bike could fall over. Not good. Not good from a damage standpoint and not good from a hernia picking it up standpoint. I always carried a block wood or a piece of rubber to put under the sidestand but I came up with a brain fart. There is a company that makes a plastic foot for under the stand. Problem is, who wants to put a grungy plastic foot on their pocket or try to put it under the sidestand, balancing a 700 pound behemoth.... Not me. I drilled a hole in the foot, attached a fishing line lanyard and attached the lanyatd to my saddlebag. When I stop, I pull the foot from the saddlebag, it drops to the ground and I manuver it with my left foot, under the sidestand. When I'm ready to go, I lift the bike, grab the lanyard and lift the foot and stow in the saddlebag..... and it never gets lost. Just like the turret caps..... What could be easier. Just say'in....
