You have 3 choices
1. Remove some tail plastic so you CAN put your foot in the bar
2. Learn to like foot on the seat, its better anyway
3. give up, cuz youre never gonna do no handers with your left foot on a peg

Just learned no handers myself and foot on the seat was the easiest way fro me to learn, any other way and I was leaning to far back holding onto the bike. Foot on seat allows me to get my weight up and over the front of the bike easily...

you can put more weight on the pedal that way, so it'll "feel" stronger

Re: No handers, need help to let go

I do foot on seat. Make sure you really get up and close to the bars like pushing into them and when you let go reach out in front of the bike like your about to hug the bottom of your upper. Take your mirrors off to those stupid things get in the way. If the bike starts coming down and letting off the brake does'nt bring the bike back again I'll grab the nose with one or both hands and lean back works prettty good--really fun trick to do!!

ye thats what i was thinkin, sort of push my chest into the top fairing right??
haven't got mirrors, they fell of a long time ago

i'd like to do foot on top of the seat more, as foot in the seat i'll have to ride around with no pillion seat in.

anyway, less of this chat i think, waiting for the weather to get better and i'll go try it all out:YEAH

thanks for all your help

Re: No handers, need help to let go

if you ain't got 'em yet, maybe try sitdowns first, they are a bit easier. When doing standup (foot in seat or any other option) you need to focus on becoming one with the bike - grab the tank and lean on the upper/steering so you have better feeling for balance and better control on RB...
