Sounds interesting - I have running boards so, this will not fit. Plus, my boards are supposed to be able to support my weight. Even so, I don't step on them.
Instead, I put my left foot on the passenger peg and stand up - then, throw my leg over the seat. To get off, I do almost the opposite - put my foot on the left passenger step, stand up and then throw my leg over.
Seems to work for me.
