Twin Legged Pletscher Bicycle Kickstand Install

This install places little noticeable compression on the chain stays. I've used it on this bike for three years, fully loaded touring and commuting to work without issue. If you are set on having a kickstand, but are afraid of damaged paint, or worse a broken or crushed stay, this method may be for you. Set up as I have shown will not leave a scratch on the power-coat.
Although the pieces are relatively easy to fabricate, you may choose to make only the templates. Determine the dimensions you need for the parts and have someone else cut out the pieces. As I've demonstrated the drilling and install is quite straight forward.
Glass companies have plenty of scrap and I'm sure for a slight fee you could get them to cut out the parts. They also have various thicknesses. Polycarbonate is used as safety glass and in thicknesses of an Inch or more, is bullet proof. Do not however, use acrylic as it does not flex well and is prone to cracking.
Any questions you may have can be asked in the comments section. I'm a architectural design, builder and not a filmmaker.

Note:
While I have made every attempt in explaining the Mounting Bracket fabrication and install, I cannot guarantee your results.
