'07 Wide Glide: Kickstand is a real pain to kick.
The kickstand on the Wide Glide is not very accessible the way it's tucked in there. It's tough to grab with the boot and I find myself fumbling for it more often than not.
Is there a product you're aware of that makes this an easier maneuver?
If you've got something, please provide a link where I can purchase or at leastthe brand/model, and if you don't mind post a pick of your setup.
Thanks all.

glide05,
I can't believe I didn't find that on HD's website. I did look -- scouts honor.
If anyone can offer some feedback as to whether or not the HD extension works well (i.e., is durable...etc), or whether their aftermarket extension might be a better choice, please let me know.
Thanks for your help again fellas.

May it's just me,but I had the same problem with mine. I was using the toe of my boot/shoe to lower the kickstand,now use the heel of my boot/shoe and catch it every time without any problem.
Good Luck

The HD extension works great. no more feeling with the foot trying to find the side stand. easy to operate and ain't much to install. put it on both scoots and well worth the $.
