Default Move forward controls back a little

I have an opportunity to get a 2001 Dyna Wide Glide. I think I'm going to go for it. Minor problem is I am about 5'5 and the forward controls make me have to stretch my legs out to the max. Just wondering if there are any mods or adapters to bring the pegs, brake and shift lever lever back just a bit.

Also, and again, perhaps the Dyna is not new enough, but I have seen Dynas with floorboards a la Switchback. On the Dynas I have ridden, the forward controls were too far out and the mid controls left me cramped.

...but AHHHH, those floor boards!

The H-D seat (I forget the name) to move you forward; most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on. I've seen adapters of different lengths meant to bring the pegs closer to you.
