Default Dyna Kickstand, any solutions?

Am I the only one that feels like an idiot pulling up somewhere and having to look down trying to hook my toe in the kickstand on a 07 Dyna? Total PITA to find, especially if the passenger pegs are down...Anybody have a solution, haven't seen any extensions in the catalogs for a Dyna? I'm wondering about the possibility of putting a small electric solenoid like a door lock under there that doesn't connect to the stand at all, just a momentary on thing that kicks it out far enough to catch it easy with foot..[sm=confused06.gif]

No - I don't think you're the only one.&nbsp\\; But, Harley does have the jiffy stand extension - this isn't directly to the Harley site but the first one I could find (here at work - time is short) http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com...-Extension.htm

being my first HD it was hard as hell finding that thing - even reached back and placed it down a few times. But! I eventually got the hang / feel of it....

Practice grabbing it with your heel, just like ord sgt says. Pretty soon, it'll become second nature.

Then go hop on a Sporty and you get to learn it all over again, cept with your toe.
