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

With all the junk I sometimes load on pillion seat, I end up standing on left peg, to get a leg over

We must be talking pillion here not rider?

This just has to be a joke !! :alas:

Yes, some people best stick to walking 

I got a movie on facebook from one of the bike groups of a guy who claimed to be 5'5", his method of mounting a GS was to stand beside the bike in gear, engine running and to pull away and put his left foot on the peg then mount the bike in motion, he reversed the process on coming to a rest. There is a guy in South Korea who has a K16 with stabilisers which deploy below walking pace, that works well too.

Anybody got a link for the stabiliser supplier. There's a challenge David.

Toys R Us perhaps? :alas:

thanks you ............ were most helpful !!

I should have thought so, as long as you don't offend us delicate soals.

Now I am confused.  what's the top box got to do with the seat height. Having said that.  bike on side stand. Stand beside the bike. Grab handlebars.  Left foot on foot peg. On you go.  You will clear the seat by a foot or two.  And no the stand will not buckle or snap.

see i fell and hurt my shoulder ,the ac joint on the top of my right shoulder .I can pilot the bike fine and mounting with just the panniers is OK but can't put too much pressure on my right arm !!
