Well lately I 've been into doing things on the "cheap" Trying to save money you know. So I wanted a nice sidestand pad with more surface area for when I'm out in the sticks. This is what I came up with:

I used a peice of 3/16 aluminum scrap and shaped it, then got some metal compatable expoxy to attach it to the side stand.
A little hairball but it only cost me $5.

I got this fiberglass instrument case from work. The instrument was shot so the case was free. A little paint and expoxy filler, a nice new cheap top box that I can beat and not worry about.

Total cost maybe $10
Nice work, functional is the word, will do the job and that's the main thing. It's easy to get carried away and spend a fortune on farkles that won't actually do a better job than stuff you already have lying around.
Well first report on the side stand pad is that it SUCKS! It popped off today so I have to re-figure this out. Maybe it needs to have a hole drilled in it for some epoxy to grab onto? It popped right off when I put full weight on it.

I just carry a 4-inch diameter piece of aluminum in my jacket pocket and throw it down when I need it. Mind you, I have left it behind a couple times and have had to make a new piece. :oops:
Hope your top box doesn't suffer the same date :shock:
Or fate even.... :lol:
You can tlak :P KO
