Another technique from another forum

“Bike on the side stand and she mounts from the high side driver peg. That helps her get her leg higher more easily because she starts from a higher place. I am holding the handlebars from the left (low) side and she's grabbing my shoulder for support.

When on in the driver position she then slides back onto the pillion seat. Dismount is the reverse.

She likes to have the tail trunk on for back support so this is the best way to avoid kicking that. If mounting from the rear pegs it is quite difficult when the trunk is on.”
