Wife learned pretty quickly,grand kids with short legs were the pits. Lid haulers or lid bras work well.

If you can help me train her on this then maybe you can help me train her on opening and closing the saddlebags also. Clueless and frustrated in baggerland.

Good luck! I can't get my own damn legs over the bags without wackin em sometimes...

Throw that on the seat and tell her either one's about the same!

Scratch-X and good wax. And be glad your wife is as passionate about riding with you as you are about riding. Unless its a show bike, just ride and enjoy. It's nothing that can't be fixed.
