2006 R1200RT side stand

[Ash748916]

Hi Guys. Greetings from north east Victoria, Australia. I picked up a very nice 72,000km RT for my wife yesterday and rode it 400kms home. It rides exactly as I expected and it's not a million miles away from my 2018 model BUT, I'm sure this question has been asked before ......... the side stand is a blood nightmare to reach! Does anyone make an aftermarket - item with an extension piece so it makes it possible to actually reach the stand without huffing, puffing and lots of swearing! I'm not the tallest bloke on the planet and although my missus is 5'9" with longer legs than mine, she's also struggling. Many thanks.

Maybe try a kickstand foot enlarger? Could give you just a little more to help find/reach it? Cheap too.
