Sounds like we all do something just a little different. I am a pretty big guy - 6"3" tall and 280 pounds.
So, I mount from the left but putting my foot on the passenger boards. When I swing over, I put my right foot on the right passenger board. If I tried to go to the floorboard, my left foot would be so far back that such would be uncomfortable.
Now, from two feet on the passenger boards, I simply put my left foot on the driver's boards - and use the bars to somewhat hold me there. The, at the same time, I move my right to the boards.
To get off, I use the drivers' boards and bars to sort of stand. From there, my left foot goes to the left passenger board. I then push against the bars and, at the same time swing my leg over to the seat - and get off.
Got the mid step installed yesterday. The only issue is they shorted me 1 U-bolt but I'll pick one up local so no problem there.
Easy install. Took me maybe a hour including beer breaks and a knee I can't kneel on so I pretty much looked like a beer drinking whale flopping around on the shop floor.
Pricey but in my case they work better than crawling on the trike.
I put the shocks back on. I took them off thinking I'd have the lift kit and 14" PA but apparently they are back ordered. Wish I'd have known.
They did charge my CC first thing though.
I put those on mine and they help a lot. Some time in the next week or so I'm going to see if they hinder changing the oils. I've got to take off primary cover, and not sure about motor oil drainage and clean up, and putting screw back in. Every thing seems to get harder at 70 and 300Lbs.
