I bought the leg up system for a road king. Pete makes a great product, I love it. I don’t use it for every stop I make but do use it in a tight situation like gas station and parking lots. It has allowed me to continue riding with peace of mind that I won’t drop the bike. Still gives you the leaning the bike not like a trike.
Great product! And Pete’s a perfectionist with his product.

 

An older church member had something like that on his imprt (wing?) but they hid inside the bags adn dropped out the bottom when needed.

 

Doodle on a Motorcycle (YouTube) is only 5’0” tall. She started on sport bikes, practiced and trained to develope skills. Went twice to Florida and trained with Jerry P., Ride Like A Pro. Now rides Road Glides, Street Glides and Road Kings. I think training and skill can be more effective than crutches. Don Tilley from Tilley’s HD was only about 5’6” and rode a Limited into his 70’s.

Hope your friend works it out.

Leg up Landing gear installed

 

Have installed these on my bike. I am 76 and came down with MG which reduced my leg strength. I wanted to keep riding, did not want a trike, so I have given them a try. I have been riding for about 60 years. Lucky for me my myasthenia gravis has gone away, and my strength is back. However I have left them on. I only put them down when stopped for a while like at a long light, but not every light or stop sign. I raise them before I take off. They work well, for pulling into or out of my garage, or tight parking spots, so no duck walking with these.
Hope this helps.
PS I still practice slow speed skills like u turns, figure 8s etc. following Jerry Paladino
