This is probably the only circumstance I would ever recommend a Softail.

With proper technique, short riders can ride.

You learn a "troll" question after awhile. One post and OP hasn't returned, have they?

You want to be able to "flat foot" the bike if possible, and a bike with a lower center of gravity is to be preferred. I would recommend that you look at the Dyna Low Rider and various Softails. Sportsters are OK but the center of gravity is high and frankly the Softails and Low Rider sit lower than many Sportsters.

You might be wasting your breath. The OP sounds like a "one and done" troll.

I can't say that I blame the OP. Ask a simple question, that's probably legitimate in their eyes and gets call troll, gets flamed and some wonder why they don't come back. I know I wouldn't with all of the "friendly" replies. Not all troll ask questions.

Thank You to the ones who tried to help.
