Must be a hydraulic way to do this?
Second clutch lever, working a stand? Might take a whole lotta pulling though.
Must be a way to do it. Pump up, button release?
Wilson, hope you get back on 2 wheels. And it's gotta be the 12 dude - don't take second best.

Good thought Scaredy Cat. While just thinking about this, I just now came up with an easy solution!
Remove the spring from the side stand. Then permanently hook up a bungy cord to the stand (Use the end to wrap around the stand and safety wire it in place. Then find a good spot on the bike to attach it to and you are in business!!
This way, you can climb on the bike, center the bike, which will allow the stand to retact (Like the Ducati used to) and when finished riding, un hook the bungy cord which will allow the stand to come down!
While writing this, I was thinking about what would make it come all of the way down, then thought that maybe a very weak small bungy cord in front to make it come down and the larger stronger cord to retact it and hold it in place while riding!
Second thought is weld a larger tang on the side stand so that it can be seen from the seat! Take your fold up cane handle and pull the stand up and when finished, take the other end (The regular end of the cane and push it back down!
Remember, we all knew that this would be the hard part and with all of these minds at work, a way "WILL" be found!
I forgot, which leg is the "Good" leg?

I remember seeing a video about a guy named Lee Beaver who was a paraplegic and modified a GSXR 1000 with air activated wheel stands that held the bike upright at stops. I also remember that he sold premade kits, but I can not find anything about him or his website. I believe he's in California.
