GSA SideStand Position

[BullMac]

Do any other short arsed GSA riders have an issue reaching the sidestand?

I think it's because it's positioned so far forward but I sometimes have a real issue reaching the stand to retract it without feeling like I'm going to drop it. Extending the stand isn't a problem because it can be kicked out.

I find the side stand more difficult to find on the LC than on my previous TC. I don't have any problem retracting it
but it is a bit of a faff finding it in the first place.

I recall it was behind the n/s footrest on the TC and easier to locate (for me at least).

And I don't think its a height issue either, I am over 6ft.

Sorry I don't have a problem finding it, it's a problem with my leg not being long enough to reach it when it's extended. It probably doesn't help that I'm on tiptoes with my right leg, so am most likely shifted over to my right side to be able to reach the ground ok. If that makes sense?

My only issue is I get my trouser hem caught on the foot peg trying to deploy the side stand. I think my technique is improving.
