Default Short man, kickstand feels too far away.
On these baggers is there something to make the kick stand easier to reach, I can barely reach it sometimes to retract it.

I know you feeling very well. I just go used to it. Sometimes a real pita though

I am a welder fabricator and I have not figured anything out that would work. Since the kick stand is too far from you then adding something you could reach easier would most likely hole the kick stand down when riding. I gave up. There are something to find it better while the stand is up it would be farther wawy from you when you wanted to put the stand up. Hope this make sence

A female friend of mine got something for her '03 Heritage. It bolts on the bottom of the stand. Works well for her.

If you could get a photo of it and post it that would be cool.

I use the HD extender and it works perfectly. Drill one hole and you're done.
