Take a Dyna for a ride, it's the only way you're really going to know. Keep in mind that there's a lot of things you can change to make it a more comfortable fit if you're fairly small and light too.

The legs are the strongest part of the body. Weight should not be an issue, unless you drop it.

EDIT~ She's wearing her regular boots here, but her Daytona Women's boots have a 2" lift built into them. The lift is not "all heel" as some of it is internal. (Kinda like Tom Cruise's lifts!)
Looks like a perfectly acceptable fit to me.

My wife is 5'6" and has toured all over the place on her 08 Low Rider without incident. Having said that; if you are out test riding be sure and try the Softail Slim; very low seat and about the same weight as a Dyna Fat Bob. I have a Fat Bob and the wife claims it feels better on the road with the larger front tire; I think her bike turns a little easier at slow speed with the skinnier front tire...test ride if you can and see what you think. When you lower suspension and thin out the seat you will loose suspension travel and comfort. Period.

Thank you all for your advice. The lady form has been kinda silent on this subject. I am looking at a 2014 HD street bob and I think with the right seat I should be great. Switching out the pipes would be a good idea too. I am just tired of such a rugged ride on the sporty and feeling beaten up after riding all day.

Sounds like you've made up your mind, you'll notice the ''beaten up'' difference on your first decent ride.

I have spoken with a few lady riders out west that have Dynas and they all said after the first ride it was a big difference on comfort. My mother in law who rides has a HD heritage and she is a smaller lady. She said the only issue sometimes is backing
