2010 Super Glide...
I just bought a 2010 Super Glide via Millitary Sales through Harley Factory. Anyhow it will be delivered in May, and I am still in Iraq. I am looking at parts to have waiting for me to start customizing. I am 5' 4" tall, am I to short for forward controls? I would like to be confortable on the long rides.

Congrats on the new bike, I know you"ll be happy . I'm 5'9" and have a 29" inseam. I love the midcontrols but I to put on forward pegs. The first set were 4" pegs [not long enough] The hard part with forward pegs was I had a problem with getting my right leg on the pegs around the AC. I had to put on 5" pegs, which is better but I wish I had 6" pegs but I can't find any. Good luck and stay safe.

Thanks,
My inseam is 28ish, I think I am going to wait and see how the fit is.. Maybe stay with the Mid-Controls with HWY Pegs up front. I've got some Machenist buddies that would probably make some custom pegs..
But more imput would be nice, maybe some ideas?

Having two positions for your feet is the way to go.If your short armed you might start thinking about a set of pull back risers.It will help you have a better sitting position. I have the 4" and didn"t have two change any cables and I sit straighter up.

+1 on the mid-controls and hiway pegs. I love the setup.
When are you going to be back home to Medford? In August we're having the 2010 HD Forums Rally in Goldendale, WA. It'd be great if you could make it. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/pacif...ums-rally.html
