mounting with a top case

Not trying to make fun, just trying to understand your problem .

And no the stand will not buckle or snap.

In the summer it might dig into the soft tarmac though - same for gravel in car park...

Good advice. After having my Aprilia sink into my mates tarmac drive, I never go anywhere without a puck... the twenty-first century replacement for a squashed coke can.

And a great mod to the puck is to drill a small hole in it and attach some string. You can then sit on the bike and pull the puck out, stick in your pocket and off you go

Any techniques for mounting with a top case  , i can't lift leg high enough to just put it over seat !

  With my top case on (new model not as simple to remove), I have trouble lifting leg over seat to mount.  My knees are bad, and it's a stuggle. However, I just bend the knee up as much as I can and grab the pant hem with my right hand and help it over.  Works ok.  Getting off is easier.  I can do the reverse while hopping back a little on my left leg.  These bikes are made for short guys with bad joints.

I hope this helps you
