I am short too. I went with the Street Bob.. not the shortest bike but I like the cruisers.
All I had to do was change out the rear shocks with 11" progressives and I was done. The seat height is still low enough even with the touring seat on it.
Perfect for me. I liked the handle bars on it too very comfy for shorter
people.
If I was to buy any other bikes it would be the low rider or the softail deluxe.

BTW, thanks for the link.

Husband is that short, he lowered a Road Glide. I have a friend that thought she would never be able to get a Harley. She is almost 5'!! I told her the Deluxe could be lowered even more than it is. She got it, adjusted the seat, pegs, and bam, she is in heaven!!

The DYNAS are nice bikes and the Lowrider would be the best way to go if money is no object and your not looking to TOUR.

I know someone that is about in the same ball park as you. He rides an Ultra Classic - had it lowered at the dealership before he took it home.
I would imagine you could mod any bike that you want and make it fit you.

Personally, I don't like the idea of just the ***** of your feet on the ground. That assumes that you'll always be on a flat surface. If the road has an angle at all and only the ***** of your feet reach on level ground, there's a good chance both feet won't be on the ground, which can be very unsafe/hazardous to both you and the bike.
