Hello,
I recently got back into bikes, after a 25 yr break. I just purchased a 2010 America, full factory issue no aftermarket parts added. A question I have is re the side stand and the running boards. As I am a shorter stature, I have difficulty reaching the side stand under the running board to put the stand up to drive away. Any suggestions to make this easy, as currently it is very awkward accomplishing this task? I could replace the running boards with riding pegs, but the boards are a nice touch, particularly for longer rides.
( I have ordered longer legs for myself, but they have been on back order for 65 yrs now, and I'm not expecting them to arrive anytime soon.)
Look forward to any reasonable ideas.
Regards
Mike
