Nice looking ride...you are gonna have a lot of fun.

I am short also, but looking at your pic, even though you are short, you might actually have longer arms and legs than I do. My sleeve length is only 31" and inseam 28" so I needed to do a lot to make my ride on my '18 Heritage comfortable.

I had Cherry lowered 1" front and rear, so in effect it is really a Deluxe with Heritage trim and I also use the Reach Seat which puts me a good position to reach the foot controls and the ground.

Howerver, I was not very comfortable with the HB position. I used a set of pivoting risers to move the bars up about 2 inches and back toward me about 1 1/2 inches. PITA job to install, but no extensions needed. Now I am much more comfortable than when it was stock.

FYI. I did have the Reach Seat modified by Mean City Cycles In North Carolina. I had them do their memory foam upgrade. Gained about 1/2 inch lower and much much more comfort.

I also have a Grasshopper Back rest that has an extended slip in plate so it aligns with the back of the seat. Helps to make you sit up straighter when in the saddle.

 

From one new Deluxe owner, to another: CONGRATS!!!!

My shop had a burnt orange one as well. Sweet Color! I ended up with the dark blue and silver. Both are gorgeous bikes with all that chrome and the white walls !!

Enjoy the bike!!
