The forward pegs on my Dyna were a big stretch for me too at only 5' 7", so I converted that bike to mids as my very first mod.

My Low Rider has mids, but the other bikes with the forwards didn't seem nearly as long a stretch as my Dyna did.

Another option for you might be the HD Reach seat which puts you lower and further forward. https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...16-52000354--1
lt fits both the Low Rider and your Sport Glide.

I had considered this but it seems like there a lot of work to do.... Including drilling a hole into the primary cover to mount the lever. Decided to just convert my foot peg to floor boards using fat boy parts. 30mins labour and I'm happy with my decision.






parts for floor board conversion. Do take note, I opt for dominion parts... Hence parts differs a little bit.

Yes, dual disc will be good.... But I believe it's enough for its intended purpose. I had asked the same question especially mine was upgraded to stage 3.

I can't remember but there was a reference to some newer softails such as far Bob with 114 engine.... They are on single disc too....

I believe Arlen Ness make a 15" disc conversion that would fit. A cheaper option than duals?
