Everyones sense of balance is different. I rode Goldwings for 32 years and had to learn all over again when I got on my first Harley.
As the video showed, it is actually easier to maintain balance with putting only one foot down. I see a lot of folks putting both feet down but it's what ever you're comfortable with.
Also, when taking off from a stop, the quicker you get your feet onto the pegs or footboards, the easier it become to maintain your balance. It also can be dangerous allowing your feet to hang or drag as you're taking off or slowing to a stop. Using the legs to adjust your balance while taking off or slowing to a stop can potentially create problems.

If this is the first time you have had a Large Fairing thats heavy and leans in every time you turn it it will be awhile before you learn how to negociate it.
That takes time and also if you have ABS brakes it takes a little time to learn that also especially if you are a FRONT braker like me? I had the darnest time getting use to it and once I learned how to brake with it , it was fine.
Practice makes perfect!
