All they do is just cut a section out of it to slide the stand in. I would feel most comfortable drilling 2-3 holes and bolting it in.

Is a hockey puck the best way to go about fixing....

That's a hellova way to treat a perfectly good hockey puck.
Down here, they're 1.99 with free shipping from Amazon. That's 3 pucks for the price of one good beer.
Thanks. I'll have to see if I can find one. AZ is not exactly hockey capitol of the world (altho we do have a team).

1.99 with free shipping...........Amazon. Seriously.
Yup! If that is too expensive you could scrounge craigslist for free materials but you would probably find a chunk of lead before a nice piece of aluminum to work with.

look out!!!
This is what I am gonna do and essentially what the Verholen product is... drill holes in foot and chunk, tap thread into the chunk and then bolt through to attach to foot. No rust, good durability.

Common steel bolted to aluminum.......just has too many bad currents

Brass would be nice........
I guess if I had the problem and wanted to use aluminum, I might purchase an aluminum meat tenderizing hammer and cut off as needed. Traction built right in.

That is actually a really good idea!

Oh Canada
I had a box of hockey pucks from an earlier avocation and thought I’d give this a try. Took 10 minutes, works great!

Way to go Roger! Beauty job eh?
OK OK I've seen some hosers who actually mill out some meat from the puck to fit the stand foot in but they are just show off hosers...

Saw this thread and thought "cool". So I bought a hockey puck and attached it to the side stand on my R1100RSL using 3 machine screws. My bike has always had what i thought was an extreme lean angle when placed on the side stand and this looked like a great and cost effective way to solve the problem and at the same time get a bigger and thus more stable foot print.
WRONG! Not on a '93 RSL because the center stand will interfere with the longer side stand when both are retracted. It looks to me like the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing as in the guy that designed the center stand didn't communicate with the guy that was designing the side stand. I think this is yet another classic example of high quality second to none German engineering.
