Center stand and kickstand rubber feet

[RWJ25]

Hey guys I just picked up my black '08 FZ6 on Monday and already put 300 miles on it. :rockon: Well anyways, let me get to the point of this thread. Every time I put the center stand or kickstand down on gravel or concrete, I can hear and see the paint and metal being scratched and I know rust will eventually start. My plan is to get some rubberized bed liner material and paint the feet of the center stand and kickstand. Has anyone tried this?

not a bad idea if you can get it to stick good. lots of prep.

Good Idea. I think LineX may be able to do something like that.

Ok, I guess I am going to go and pick up a quart of bed liner and give it a try. I think a quart is the smallest quantity I can buy with bed liner material. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

You might have to keep applying it every now and then... I look at it this way... Considering the guage of steel they are constructed of, your kickstand(s) will probably be the last thing that falls apart due to old age...

Every time you use the kickstand or centerstand, you'll scrape off the existing rust. It'll last a long time, no worries.
