Check out the Fat Boy Lo if she wants a newer bike, and either a heritage or a deluxe for a nice used bike.
A reach seat goes a long way in helping the feel for shorter statured riders. My wife is 5' 2" and she needed a reach seat for her Superlow. She loves it now...I mean like totally crazy about her ride now.

Looking for some advice.My wife is a new rider with about 1500-2000 miles experience. She has taken to riding like a duck takes to water and really enjoys it.She has a '99 Sporty XL 883. The bike is top heavy and at 5'5' and 130 lbs, she struggles a lot with handling the bike from getting on it to being truly comfortable while riding. We are thinking of getting rid of the Sporty and getting her something in the bigger v-twin. Any suggestions on what to get that will help her be more comfortable and be easier for her to handle?

Wife started out on a sporty and then moved to a streetglide. Night and day difference. Bike was a little to tall for her so we had the seat redone (memory foam and lowered)to get her to the right height.

Wife started back riding on a 1200 Sporty, after a year and 4K miles she wanted something bigger. Went back to the dealer, and she rode a Deluxe around, but like the fit for her on the Heritage. So she now rides a 2010 Black Heritage. She cannot believe how easy the Heritage turns into the corners and the weight being lower.
