Motorcycle Kickstands

A motorcycle kickstand maybe not the most remarkable part of a bike, but without any doubt, it is the one you can depend to avoid costly repairs or an injury. The world’s first kickstand was designed for an early bicycle by a Frenchman Albert Berruyer in 1869. After its invention, the kickstand has been redefined several times and since has gained wide popularity. Nowadays kickstands are used to secure both bicycles and motorbikes in an upright position. They feature a single leg, a pair of legs or a bracket design and are crafted from sturdy materials like steel or cast aluminum, ensuring your motorcycle stands securely on the ground for safe parking or effortless maintenance.

A kickstand, whether a center or rear mount one, is a handy way to create the proper resting point for your bike until the adventure comes calling. Kickstands are built to hold a parked vehicle at the optimal angle of lean and use either a spring or a detent locking mechanism to hold the bike firmly in place. There are different types of motorcycle kickstands available on our website, including side stands and center stands as well as flick stands. With a proper kickstand, you can get your vehicle parked for a short or long time as well as easily do your maintenance job. There’s no need to lean your bike against another object or ask someone to help you hold the motorcycle.

Side stands are built to spread the weight of your two-wheeler over a larger surface area so that you can let the vehicle rest on hot pavement or soft ground. They can be clamped on or welded into the bike’s frame. Side stands flip out to one side, allowing the motorcycle to lean against it. Compact and durable, a side stand is a great solution when you need to get off your iron horse, providing a convenient, easy, and secure way to park your bike. You can also stop and rest on the seat of your motorcycle to enjoy the landscape, have a chat with your buddies, or anything in between.

Found on most adventure touring and regular bikes, a center stand features a robust design offering a stable positioning for your motorcycle in a fast, safe and efficient way. The primary job of a bike center stand is keeping the motorcycle upright to help you easily and effortlessly perform maintenance tasks such as chain and rear wheel adjustments, oil changes or flat tire fixing. As this stand takes most of the bike's weight off its tires, it’s also perfect for long-term parking of your two-wheeler. With a sturdy center stand, nothing gets damaged and no one gets hurt.

Motorcycle kickstands come in stock and lowered lengths. There are also stands with adjustable lengths for custom applications. If you have made no changes to your bike’s height, the stock kickstand will work best. For those who have lowered their vehicle, a lowered kickstand that can create a safe lean angle is the option to go, while an adjustable kickstand can be easily modified to suit the changed height or lean angle of your bike if you have dropped or raised the suspension. To preserve their pristine condition for years, kickstands are coated with premium finishes like gloss black or mirror-like chrome.
