My wife is considering moving up from her sportster to the Softail deluxe, she's a little on the short side and had trouble with reaching the kickstand when she tried the softail in the dealers. The guy in the dealers said that there is a rear kickstand thatcan be fitted that was easier to reach. I've never heard of anything like this. Has anyone heard of them or had one on their bike? If so can you comment on how it would help the vertically challenged?[sm=feedback.gif]
