I like that it looks thin. Kickstand is too tall for my liking as is, much more when you add most aftermarket pucks. I have to be very attentive where and how I park my bike.
If I was handy like you I would make one shaped like NY state and put it on my sidestand. But when I say I am from NY, people automatically assume I am from NY city, which couldn't be further from the truth (nothing wrong with that mind you, just been my experience). Anyway, good on you and great idea.
