RE: shortest rider on a dyna?

my wife is 5' and can handle my bike in regards to feet touching the ground... also... I have a FXDC(superglide custom with 12.5" shocks) which can of course be lowered with different shocks from it somewhat higher seat height. The reach seat available also helps those vertically challenged being more narrow in front for ease of stand-over....

5'7 here and can touch flat footed on my Super Glide. Some shorter shocks would really bring it down.

what you mean doc?

I will lower it 1" with shocks and a lower seat, but still have doubts, because SB its much wider than my current sportster.

I am 5'6 30 inseam and made my own low seat, &nbsp\\;lowrider rear shocks. Flat foot, but barely. I would&nbsp\\;sit on one first&nbsp\\;if you're only 5'2.

My wife who is 5'2" can handle mine with the stock seat.&nbsp\\; Of course, your legs may be shorter.&nbsp\\; Her bike is a Sporster 1200L.&nbsp\\; YMMV.
