Hawk skid plate/center stand

Right now I have a single 5/8" bolt with a double nut on the end holding the stand on. I was planning on using 5/8" smooth bar with either a washer and cotter pins on each end or like you suggested some kind of locking pin.

I have an older brother that was a welder for over 40 years and took a forced early retirement due to some disabilities and that this would be a perfect little project for him to keep him busy. Believe me his welding skills are far better than mine. I'm going to get with him after I redesign it and see if he would be interested in building some. I put a 50+ hours in a 5 day work week and like my me time on weekends. I would rather him do it and make the money to help him out.
