Default Swiftkicker adjustable kickstand

Probably a long shot, but has anyone here bothered to make the Swiftkicker adjustable kickstand work on the KLX?

The idea is genius but unfortunately the company had no plans to create one specific to the KLX when I emailed him some time back.

I'd never heard of it. Looks interesting. The sound would drive me batty, I think. I wish they had move video/reviews.
I'm also WAY too cheap to spend $200 on a metal extend-a-bar.

They are DEFINITELY spendy buggers, no doubt about it. I find myself on uneven surfaces often enough - looking around for rocks or pieces of wood or whatever - that I'm getting to the point where $190 just might be worth it. The convenience factor is large here.

This guy spends the first minute or so on the Swiftkicker.


BTW, the above guy is one of the best riders I've come across. He does some seriously technical single track riding - mostly solo - and he tackles every trail with balance and technique, and NOT throttle. All the while carrying a chainsaw on his front fender 99% of the time. Rarely, if ever, have I seen him grab a handful of throttle to tear up a steep hill. A real treat to watch and learn. I can only hope to be half as good as him when I'm 60+ years of age.

Nice idea & some good riding tips. I'll need to revisit after I get my next ride in.
