Hi guys

Recently bought an 890 adventure which I’m liking a lot

However, since having both hips replaced my ability to get my leg over without scuffing rear saddle is a pain and I’m trying to work out how best to avoid the scuffing by letting my footwear slide across the saddle cover.

I don’t carry pillions these days so it’s not a problem to fit some kind of protection eg flexy plastic or similar over the saddle. I don’t want to remove the saddle.

Any hints guys? Thinking of thick, plyable plastic sheet or similar??

Thanks in advance

Jim

PS have same issue with my S1000XR
 
If not already, you could try turning the steering to the right and use the space opened up to allow to you tip your body as you swing your leg.
Makes a world of difference when people have trouble clearance luggage as well.
 
Thanks T.

I have a technique that puts my foot beyond the side stand arm and, as you say, I lean over and swing the right leg. More often than not though, the toe of my right boot will drag/scuff on the top of the pillion saddle.
