I've been using this Kuryakyn Kickstand P/N 7104 since new and have not had any issues. They're not cheap. About $100 I'd guess.
I also carry a free Kick Stand Pad I got somewhere . . . just in case.
Pictures of both are attached.

DING DING DING DING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! # 3. That's the winner by a landslide. I also got one of these about a million years ago FOR FREE from.................I don't remember where. It works the same today as it worked when I got it one million years ago AND it will work a million years from now. Spend the extra $$$$ on travel, a gift for someone, a good meal..................ANYTHING but to lean a motorcycle on.

 

I picked up this one for $7 - works well

I have it.. I'm quite happy with it. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I had something similar on my RT. In my opinion, it's 1000% easier to have that on the kickstand foot instead of carrying around a pad to put underneath your kickstand. I never think about, I just put my kickstand down. It was one of the first things I installed on my RT way back in 2006 and it WAS the first thing I installed on my '18 wing. I personally wouldn't live without one. But everyone has a different opinion of course.

To me, $40.00 for not having to mess with some removable pad was worth every penny.

Rivco has one as well, which likely works just as well, but I liked the look of the Traxxion one better

@FL_19 GL1800D @Wiscocyclist I agree with Wiscocyclist and it is worth the $ as far as I'm concerned. I only had to remove and add some Blue Loctite as the screw backed out once causing loose fit. No more throwing the kick stand foot pad down and moving it into place for me!

 

I'm still using a Ricks Duck Foot

 

I put the Traxxion on my 2018. Very pleased with it. I used tin cans for the last 40 years so I figured it was time for a upgrade

 

I have the Rivco pad.......works very well and they have been making this product for many years on prior wings.
The Traxxion pad is nearly a copy with a little different look.

Both are CNC billet aluminum

I have Rivco's on 2010 & 2018. No worries about soft and new asphalt on hot summer day. Mostly no worries on gravel, but out in grass.... I dig out a stand pad (like post #2 in one bike, big orange "foot" on the other) for a slightly larger footprint on the stand. I have string on both to hook over handlebar and pick it up to put away when I leave.

 

Have the Traxxion. Quality part in my opinion.

I installed the Traxxion shocks on my 2018 over the winter and put one of these pads on while I was at it. So much better than stock!

 

Rivco here and love it, looks good , I used some rtv sealant on my install, even if the thread locked set screw loosens it will stay put.

 

The Traxxion pads now come with two set screws for each hole. One is screwed in tight and then the second shorter one screws in tight against the first one to prevent it from loosening. Some locktite on both and they arent going anywhere.

 

I like that diamond plate idea. Good on soft surfaces or fresh pavement, stored when not needed. Mine is a semi-rigid plastic form shaped like a bare foot of about size 6 shoe size or so. I've had that thing for a long time. Hard to part with an old friend, especially when one is a cheap skate.

I have the Traxxion Pad on my ride. I replaced the Rivco pad with the Traxxion Pad. Its a quality part for my money.

 

I went with the Traxxion Dynamics pad and it is an amazing fit and function for my 2018.

 

I just carry a small 3"x3"x.125" stainless plate I got from work..only use it while parked on the grass at the campgrounds...a crushed beer can works in a pinch..LOL

 

I have the Traxxion on my 2018 and the Rivco on my 2008. The Traxxion secures better IMHO. I had to replace the Rivco on my 2008 a few years ago after the set screw ground off due to hard cornering.

 

Any attached kickstand pad is easier to use. With other items they have to be put down and picked up every use.

 

I was going to order one but $8.50 (21%) for the cheapest shipping option to Wisconsin seems pricey. I must be getting cheap in my older age. Actually, I think I'm one of millions and millions of shoppers that's an Amazon Prime member and expects two-day shipping to my door at no charge. I'll hold off for now.

 

I use the Rivco pad.

Not clear on how ya park the bike on soft surface so you can get into the trunk or saddle bag to dig out a pad to put under the kickstand. Unless you have a passenger who hops off first and gets it for ya. Solo riders might have a balancing act to do.

 

Mine fits into the mainly unused fairing pocket. Simple to drop and retrieve. I was going to purchase a better pad but decided to see how many times I would use one. Last year I used it twice so decided I could spend the money on fuel.

 

I use the Traxxion attachment. Inexpensive and effective. I don't even know it's there.

 

Anyone have this? Gold Wing Kickstand Pad, 2018+ - Traxxion Dynamics

I currently use a small piece of diamond plate that I take out of the saddle bag when needed. This seems more convenient but I'm wondering if it's worth the $40 price tag and what peoples' experience has been with it. I know Rivco makes one as well.

I have the Traxxion pad. "Set it & Forget it". Fits perfectly, works well, worth the money.

 

Has anyone tried the Show Chrome pad? Do all of these pads clear the pipes or other items when in the up position?

 

$40 plus tax & shipping is a little steep. Before my wing was triked, I had a plastic "disc" about 6" in diameter that my local dealer was giving away one year as a customer appreciation gift. It has a small hold drilled on one side that I ran a string through. I could get the disc out of the passenger storage compartment and toss it down then wrap the string around the left handlebar. When it was time to leave, I pulled it up with the string and stuffed it back into the passenger storage compartment. $0.00 cost other than the string. With that said, I have a few "doo dads" from Traxxion on my '19 wing. They are high quality but expensive.

 

Bit the bullet and ordered one. Ordering it from Traxxion's eBay store rather than directly from their web site saved me a few bucks on shipping. I'm all about set it and forget it
