| I just recently came back from a 1,638 mile round trip to the Texas Big Bend area. Let me just state that I am a Disabled Vet. The problem I found I was having was when I was fully loaded and/or if the bike was on ground that was a major tilt on the Kick stand side I ran into a problem when I was tired. I had trouble getting the bike up because it leaned over real far on the kick stand. Is there anyway to correct this? I heard that I could get a kick stand extender that would raise the bike up a bit so it wouldn't lean over so far. Does anyone know of this? Any help would be appreciated. |

New Bohemia, VA | you could always get a foot to put under it when you stop, good for the summer anyways. With a little thickness should help. If it is on a cable it would be easy to retrieve or put down from the saddle. |

Brighton, MI | DAWG, sounds kind of crazy but if you are sitting bike with the kick stand down and weight on stand, turn handle bars to hard right, this will change the angle and pitch the bike will lean making it eiaser to bring to center. Try it |

Perry Hall, MD | I've replaced the rubber on the kickstand with a piece cut from a roadside retread scrap. Works great - no cost - and the increased thickness reduces the lean. I was a bit concerned that given the wrong ground contour it could be an issue, but maybe it will solve your problem. |

| Sure you did not have the bike on the tip over protection?  |
