Yes, I had to get completely off the bike to get the kick stand down.

I tried what you are describing with my toe, but my legs are just too short.   

[DesmoDiva]

What about wrapping that same grip tape around the part of the kick stand you catch with your heel?

And disfigure the sexy alum. stand??

Not the best idea, but it's all I've got ~

Try leaning to the right as far as you're comfortable.  At the same time, shift your butt left as far as you're comfortable.  All you need to do is get the stand out far enough that it doesn't snap back.  When you get it, then just lean left and hop off

Define "too short"  26" inseam?

Actually, 30". 

And my bike is lowered.   

Guess I'll have to practice.

So true.....

That would break my heart  ................and B's wallet

The other option is to get an aluminum pin, drill out your side stand where you want the pin and have someone TIG weld it all together.

Any weld shop should do that for $10 or so.

Just treat it like a motard. Lean it against the wall.

Yeah, my dealer could tig it up for me.  And if I smiled big enough it wouldn't cost be anthing.

There is no f*ing way I'm leaning my 749 against a wall.

Any large, immovable object would do.

Tree? Post? Harley? Mother-in-Law?

That would be awesome.....

Doubt if I could flip my ass off the front of the bike though.
