1. Keep kickstand DOWN just in case you fail to raise bike
2. Grab left handlebar and left passenger grab rail
3. Put foot on center stand until it touches the ground.
4. Tilt bike until you can feel BOTH feet of the center stand firmly on the ground. (Most inexperienced users do not get the bike squarely upright on both feet as they feel the bike is going to tip.)
5. Apply pressure with your foot to put the bike firmly on the centerstand.
I am 5'2" and not very strong for a woman. I have no problems getting the bike on the center stand and neither should you.
P.S. Leaning the bike far enough to get both center stand feed squarely on the ground is the key.
Let's see. 23 responses and only one answer to the OP's question. Most are "man-up an put the thing on the stand. Or "women-up". What's up with this? Why do any farkles? If it makes life easier or things more convenient go for it.Just what I was thinking. My point was that I can put it up on the stand - not the problem. Just wondering if the handle made it easier. One response only by gadallah that has experience with it. And he likes it! Surprised nobody got into how easy it is to pick the bike up after dropping it too.

I watched this thread from time to time with astonishment. I do have the Projectd handle and think it is great. It does make it easier to get the bike on the center stand. I can also easily get the Connie on the center with the pass. grab rail but those who say that the passenger grab rail is where it should be are... well never mind. That rail is nowhere it is on other bikes and I have had a lot of them. I have three right now. I find it odd that it seems the biggest critics are ones who have not even used it. It is very well made and is a great help for those who need to move to an awkward position to raise the bike. While I have not needed to pick my connie up from the ground... yet..., it seems it would also be invaluable for that. So... there are now two.Thanks Red. I appreciate an experienced reply. I think I might get the handle....
Hi allWelcome. Nice Bike.
I greet you from Melilla (North Africa)
The item I have placed in my c-14.
One of the best purchases I've made.
I'd advise

Thanks for the input. Went out and tried grabbing where you show and it is not any easier than where I usually grab. If the bags are full and the top box, it would actually probably be harder. I have to rock the bike a bit to get enough leverage on the stand as well. So, back to the original question, has anybody tried the handle?
Original question answer: Yes, I purchased it, tried it, immediately removed it and returned it.What was it that didn't work for you?

I think, and I'm guessing a bit, but I would say the ProjektD handle...One in every crowd isn't there?
