Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech kickstand and floorboards

I have floorboards and love them. however, sitting on the bike, trying to put the kickstand up is a PITA. even if I tilt the floorboard up as far as it goes, access to the little bar on the kickstand is a pain. I've seen kickstand extenders, but I'm not sure they're going to make it better.

anyone one with an america and floorboards have the same issue? any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks.

30" inseam here; sometimes it takes me a 2nd or 3rd try to fully retract the stand, however it's really not a big deal from my perspective.

I have the same problem, 29 inseam & impossible if I am wearing shoes without a wider sole than body. I have mastered hooking the centered extension with the ball area of my boot and pulling toward me. If I am wearing tactical style boots or shoes I have no chance.
