Default 2008 Dyna Lowrider

Ok I have looked at getting one for my first bike. What do you guys think of them? Im 5'3 so it would be easier to get a bike thats already lower. All opinions are welcomed!

I bought a Low Rider for exactly the same reason - I'm 5'7" with a 31" inseam. The bike just fit like a glove with no modifications.

I just bought 08 lowrider for my wife,she is the same hieght as you. sitting on bike in stock set up,she was on ***** of her feet.I put progressive suspension lower rear shocks and lower front springs.She is now flat footed on ground with bent knees. She loves it and feels way more secure.This is her first harley,she was on a buell blast for about 3000 miles before moving up. hope this helps your decision.

I find it perfect. I love my low rider. But as itileman said check out the thread on Low Riders Only. It is of upmost importance you are able to operate the bike safely.

Good Luck.
