Kuryakyn Kickstand Solutions: Where Function Meets Finish

Kuryakyn has built its reputation since 1989 on a simple but powerful idea: every detail of your motorcycle can be improved without sacrificing style. Kickstand accessories are a perfect example of that philosophy in action. While a kickstand might seem like one of the most utilitarian parts on a bike, Kuryakyn treats it with the same attention to design and engineering that defines their grips, footpegs, and floorboards.

Founded in Somerset, Wisconsin, Kuryakyn grew from a small custom fabrication shop into one of the most recognized names in aftermarket motorcycle accessories. Their kickstand products reflect that heritage — purpose-built for the cruiser, bagger, and touring communities that Kuryakyn has served for over three decades.

The Kuryakyn Universal Kickstand Extension

Kuryakyn's signature kickstand offering is the Universal Kickstand Extension (Part #7108), a deceptively simple upgrade that solves a real-world problem for riders running aftermarket floorboards or forward controls. When driver floorboard kits extend outward, reaching down to flip the stock kickstand can become awkward or even require folding up the floorboard first. Kuryakyn's extension arm eliminates that frustration entirely.

• Universal fit: Clamps onto round kickstands ranging from 1/2" to 3/4" in diameter
• Two extension lengths: Adjustable reach of either 2-7/8" or 4-3/8" to suit different ergonomic needs
• Easy installation: Includes a serrated clamp base, M6 U-bolt clamp, and M6 nylon insert hex lock nuts — no permanent modification required
• Polished finish: Chrome-quality look that integrates cleanly with Kuryakyn floorboards and other accessories
• Compatible models include popular platforms such as Honda VTX1300/1800, Kawasaki Vulcan 1500/1600/2000, Suzuki C50/C90, and Yamaha V-Star and Road Star series

Stand-Rite: A Dedicated Kickstand Upgrade

Beyond the extension arm, Kuryakyn has also offered the Stand-Rite kickstand — a beautifully chromed replacement stand engineered to work seamlessly alongside their floorboard and shifter ecosystem. Its construction is designed to resist sinking into warm blacktop, addressing one of the most common frustrations riders encounter at summer rallies and roadside stops. The Stand-Rite is compatible with driver floorboards and other aftermarket accessories, so riders never have to choose between a complete custom build and practical, everyday functionality.

Why Kuryakyn Gets Kickstands Right

What separates Kuryakyn's approach to kickstand accessories from generic alternatives is the brand's understanding of how accessories interact with each other. Kuryakyn designs its kickstand extensions to function as part of a cohesive ecosystem — products engineered to complement one another rather than exist in isolation. Riders who have already invested in Kuryakyn floorboards, highway pegs, or forward controls will find that a Kuryakyn kickstand upgrade slots naturally into that build without compromising fit or appearance. That integration is part of what has made Kuryakyn a trusted name among V-Twin and cruiser enthusiasts for decades.
