R18B side stand

[Beemer-Me-Up]

Question, when I retract the side stand I really have to slide up forward on the seat to reach the side sand. Not a big deal, but just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if a simple solution is available.

I've got long beanstalks for legs, so never noticed this as an issue.

Yup, me too.

I have a 32" inseam and I have to do the same "slide up / left leg stretch / slide back" procedure every time.

This helped a lot.

The side stand has a lót of give, flex and if you take some, most of the weight off, pushing the bike forward a bit gets it closer to you. The bummer is when the underground adds a lot of rolling resistance as the engine will stall as toon as you put the bike in gear.

5'7" here. I have learned to use my toe to hook the little "tang" that stick out.

5'-7" 30" inseam, never gave it any thought.

I'm the same.

Now my 2012 Triumph Thunderbird, THAT is a reach.
