You may want to look into having the bike lowered slightly. Not sure if that's possible on a Trail but I had it done on my ADV bike a few years ago. Funny story about that follows...
About five years ago a family member left me his KTM 990 Adventure which is a tall bike in it's own right but my late family member had installed a custom/aftermarket suspension (Race Tech) since he was tall and he wanted his bike to be tall too. It worked well for him. I however couldn't touch the ground.
Luckily there is a shop in my city which works only on KTM Adventure bikes. I talked to them about what my options were. They suggested that I just lean to one side but being a heavy (and top-heavy at that) bike I wasn't too excited to try that but wanting to save face I told them my GF would be riding the bike and being a novice rider needed to have it lowered for her. FWIW The girl I was with had no interest in riding MC's but it seemed like a good story. They bought it and soon we were talking about adding a custom seat and making changes to the suspension in order to accommodate my (apparently) midget GF.
I dropped the bike off to them, a week or two goes by. The shop called me one day to tell me that they'd modded the suspension but were still waiting on the newly-customized seat to arrive. They asked if I wanted to check it out to see how it was going. I did and happened to be near their shop so I popped-in. I sat on the bike and remarked about how much better and secure it felt, even though at that point they had an old towel for a seat. The two mechanics who own the place shared a grin then said, "It's funny, we thought since we made all these changes for your GF, you would have brought her down here to see how the bike felt." Busted but we all shared a good laugh about it
