Getting the kick stand out, requires my left foot to be a contortionist yoga master, while trying not to burn my ankle boot. Any ideas on making getting access to it easier? Is it adjustable?

How long have you had the bike? It doesnt take long before its second nature.

 

About a month. Should probably add I'm a bit short at 5'7".

 

I can usually get mine out first attempt with right side of heal. I'm 6ft1

 

I Have an 07 Low Rider also and I do not have any issues with the kickstand and I am 5'4". You can by an extension that clips/bolts on to the end of the kickstand that is supposed to make it easier to use. Check JP Cycles I believe they carry it. I think after a little while it should just be second nature to use the kickstand. I will tell you what I do have trouble using is the horn. I wo rarelly use it that when I need to I can't seem to find the button quick enough, so I just usually yell at the A Hole instead.....lol

 

You aren't going to burn your ankle on the primary if you are wearing MC boots. Just hook the end tab on the jiffy with your heel and move it forward. I am 5' 11" and it is second nature. Stop. Hold the bike with your right foot, point your left foot a little to the left and swing your heel under the backside curve of the primary and your heel will hook the jiffy every time.

 

You can always just prop the scoot against a car or pole! Lol

 

Replies appreciated. Guess it's just getting used to it, just seems like bad design. Another 1/2 of a lip and it would be easy to flip with your toe.

 

If you are using your toe it will be a fight, use your heel as mentioned earlier and it will be as easy as hitting the floor when you fall.

 

Is this thread for real?? Who needs instructions on using a kickstand? That **** is built into your DNA
