If I'm understanding that Johnnyiroc is saying, I don't think that the extension will do what he needs. The Extension makes it easier to find the jiffy stand when you "put it down", not to reach it when you want to put it back up. The extension, with jiffy stand down, points towards the front of the bike away from his foot.

 

What I do is put the bike in gear and ease it forward until the kick stand moves back where I can reach it. You could have the seat modified to move you forward. Its a b#### having short legs.

 

The stand extender, when properly installed, does exactly what he needs. I needed it for the same reason. I never worried about reaching to lift the kickstand again after this gadget was installed. Also, it's designed to fit perfectly, look good, and makes it easier to deploy the kickstand too.

 

If that's the case, my apologies.

 

I just wiggle up my tank to reach it

 

I use the extender also, works well for us inseam challenged.

 

Would you mind explaining this to a old feeble mind.
From the photo it looks as if it will do more harm than good. It puts it back toward the front wheel.
I had my seat redone and it's not that bad now. I would like to understand how it helps though.
Unless the extra length helps.

I know it looks like it is pointing the wrong way. But you have to try it to see how it helps. Buddy had one and let met sit on bike and try.

 

It's a couple of inches off the ground compared to the original grab point. Much closer to your foot though it's hard to get that from the photo.
The odd looking shape allows it to fall into a perfect position when folded up too.
It fits perfectly into a gap along the frame and even makes it easier to deploy.
I had the same problem before putting this on. You have to reach so far with your toe to get the stand up that you fear losing your balance.
After putting this on I've never had that feeling again. I've never regretted it and a couple of my friends have added one after seeing mine. Jeff

 

Johnny, Did you ever do anything with your jiffy stand to make it easier to reach. I'd really like to hear what you did and if it worked out. I still can't understand how the jiffy stand extension would help and am interested in being corrected if need be. Thanks.
