I have a Pletscher on my LHT. I've been really happy with it - but be forewarned that you'll put some scratches in the paint on your chainstays when you install it. And rubber won't work to protect the paint - the stand will cut right through it if you torque it down properly. And if you try to go light with the torque, it will rattle around on your chainstays and do some real damage to the paint. I don't really care about a few scratches (that you can't even see with the kickstand installed) so it's a non-issue for me.

I just wish that there was an easy way to clean the pivot mechanism on the Plescher. Mine has picked up a lot of sand and grit from winter, and there really isn't any way to dissassemble it and clean it. I think I'm going to drill out the rivet that holds it together soon and pull it apart, and replace the rivet with a smooth, hitch-style bolt with cotter pin.
