Default Hard time reaching jiffy stand
I have a friend she's about 5'6" and she's having a hard time reaching the jiffy stand, what are you guys or gals doing to be able to kick the stand up?

I'm 5'8" with a 28" inseam on a Road Glide Special. Tell your friend I feel her pain. Ya just have to stretch to grab it, and give it a good hard flick to extend it.

Stand on my '15 Limited Low has an extended tab just for that reason... maybe it'll fit?

There are all kinds of add ons for extending the stand. Try googling "Harley Davidson Jiffy Stand Extensions", you'll get all kinds of results.
I don't know if they are worth a fritz, I don't have trouble with the stand, my inseam is about 30".

I have a 30" inseam, and I do have to stretch a bit to reach mine. Any shorter legs, and I'd be shopping for one of those extensions.
