Here is a old pix of the rack mount around the rear disk brake. Recently the rod that attaches to the bike fatigued near one end and broke. I made a new one from steel and rotated the mounting point to be inside the rack supports--maybe I'll take another pix if you are interested.
Why not add a rubber or plastic end cap to one or both legs of the kickstand? That way you can change tires and all you need to do is remove the end cap. I'm trying to think of a good source, but I'm sure a little creativity would result with something. I think some stands may come with something like that, maybe the LBS has a couple laying around. A rubber piece would make the ESGE more slip resistant too.
Just a thought.
