Default I should have posted this here I think

I have rode a 1994 750 Virago for many years and want to move up to a Harley. I have been to the dealer many times and I like 3 models. The Super Glide The Low Rider and the Wide Glide. The salesman did not think the Wide Glide would work since I am short 5'7" and the forward controls were an issue so he is leaning me towards the other two bikes. The short test rides leave me still wondering if the Super Glide and Low Rider handle the same on long rides. If so then it will just come down to a visual style choice. Any and all feedback will be helpful. Thanks

If those are your choices, test ride em... You'll be blown away by any of em compared to the Virago.
My first big bike when I turned 16 was a Virago 500. I ran out of gas in that bastid so many times and had to push it many miles. Lol

If you really like the WG, HD makes a set on reduced reach forward controls for people like U & me.
