Kickstand Pads

BadAss Moto kickstand pads keep your bike stable when the ground doesn’t. If you’ve ever watched a kickstand sink into hot asphalt, soft dirt, gravel, grass, or sand, these motorcycle kickstand pads are the simple fix: more surface area, more grip, less tip-over risk.

Why riders use kickstand pads

  • Prevents sinking: adds a wider footprint for soft or hot surfaces.
  • More stability: reduces lean angle changes caused by uneven ground.
  • Fast deployment: drop it, park, ride.

Built for real parking conditions

  • High-impact ABS plastic: durable for daily use and rough lots.
  • Tether hole: easy to lift/pull out, and easy to attach a lanyard.
  • Compact carry: toss it in a pocket, bag, or under-seat storage.

How to use a motorcycle kickstand pad

  1. Stop where you want to park and scan the surface (soft dirt, gravel, hot asphalt = use a pad).
  2. Place the pad where your kickstand foot will land.
  3. Lower the kickstand onto the pad and verify the bike is stable before walking away.

Fit & compatibility

These kickstand pads are designed to work with most motorcycles that use a standard kickstand foot. If your bike has an oversized aftermarket kickstand foot, confirm the footprint will sit flat on the pad.

Popular use cases

  • Parking lots in summer heat (asphalt softening)
  • Gravel driveways and trailhead parking
  • Grass at events, rallies, and campgrounds
  • Sand, dirt, and uneven shoulder pull-offs

Kickstand pad FAQs

  • Do I need a kickstand pad? If you park on hot asphalt, gravel, grass, dirt, or sand even once a week, it’s worth it.
  • Will it scratch my kickstand? Normal use shouldn’t—just make sure the pad is placed flat and free of debris.
  • Can I leave it on the ground and ride off? Don’t—always pick it up before riding.

    Lasted over five years outdoors—ordering the same cover again.

    Parked outside year-round in Ohio weather. This one is actually waterproof, fits right, and survived over five years before it finally ripped. That’s about $17/year—worth it.

    Five years on the first—back for a second. Protects all year long.

    Kept my Honda ATV covered outdoors through hot summers and rainy winters. After ~5 years I saw a couple small wear holes and one seam finally gave—good run. Great fit, reasonable price. Expecting the same from this new one.

    Great quality—works exactly as designed.

    Heavy-duty straps, stainless hardware (not plastic), and enough length to fit larger extinguishers and the 2019/2020 JLU roll bars. The red logo pops. You can buy cheaper, but this is worth a few dollars more.
