Might be a bit of a reach for you. Friend has a vRod with forwards, she looks stretched out and about 5' 7" or a little taller.

I purchased the kit from Harley. I think that's the best way to go. Then do the job yourself. It's not hard. You don't have to remove or loosen the exhaust.
Make sure you chase all the threads in all of the mounting holes before attaching any bolts. The powder coating from the factory clogs up the threads.
And remember to lube, lube and lube at least once a year all moving parts with anti-seize.
I've had the kit on my 04 FXDX since 04. Only problem was forgetting to lube more.
Good luck.

Prior to buying, hit the website for Chicago Harley. I believe its www.chicagoharley.com. Long story short you can buy any HD part there around 20% discounted.
I have purchased 2 sets of forward controls and put both of them on myself, not difficult.
