+1 on using your heel. \\; Been doin it for years and your heel just goes where it belongs without hunting. \\; I think I would have a problem with trying to use my toe.

RE: Dyna Kickstand, any solutions?
My Dyna has an extension and it makes things a lot easier. Quick side note: what is up with Harley calling it a "jiffy" stand? What a dumb name!! It's a kick stand, not a jiffy stand. Jiffy stand just doesn't sound very Harleyish.

 \\;I've got one on each of my Dyna's, it's the cat's meow, the bees knees get the point. So easy to put you don't have to use a manual.

RE: Dyna Kickstand, any solutions?
The 1st day or so i had the same problem and even harder with boots, now after a few days and using my heel, i can kick that thing down fast. No need for any extentions.
