When putting the jiffy stand down the other day, somehow I kicked off the rubber bumper that keeps it from hitting the frame when in the up (riding position).

It looks like a round disk with a nipple type projection that fits through a hole in the stand. Apparently, I kicked it pretty good as it actually split the nipple off the disc.

First of all, is there some glue that will hold rubber together? Secondly, can I buy a new one? A search of HD's site doesn't show this. I'm busy working nights so I haven't had time to visit the dealer.

Besides, you guys know more!

OR it looks like the same thing cars use on doors and hatches. SO you could steal one off your wife/girlfriend's car. It would probably be months before she finds it missing. How often do you look to see if they are still there?

The rubber must get dried out after a while. Lost mine on the way to C3. Picked up a new one at Ozark HD. Put some liquid soak in the nipple to help get it through the hole.

This post is just asking for some Chief comments

I also wipe the tip of excess.
Then do sort of what nurses do when giving a shot. I squeeze the bottle till almost all the air is out, without any glue exiting the tip.
Then cap it securely.
Have had good luck getting a considerable amount of usage out of a bottle this way before either the nozzle totally clogged or the remaining contents hardened.
