Default 5 feet 2

Hey all! I was wondering if there are other riders my height 5'2" and what do you ride. I sat on some bikes at the dealer and all seem kinda high. Any suggestions? I'm still looking for the right one.

Deluxe is a usual suggestion, Fat Boy Lo I think is now the lowest seat height.

Touring wise the StreetGlide is the lowest in stock form.

Overall height can be decieving though. I'd be more concerned with inseam.

5'-7" here with 28" inseam. My StreetGlide, a low profile seat from C&C and some thick soled boots work great for me.

Happy hunting,

Primo

I sat on a Fatboy Lo and it is REALLY low. Give it a try.

Dude!? You are short! Fat Boy Lo is the way to go for road clearance challenged people.

One thing you may want to keep in mind is that pretty much any Harley can be lowered via suspension modification and a low profile seat. Combined those two mods can substantially lower the stock seat height.

I'm 5'2" and ride a Deluxe, unlowered. Boots with a good heel will help some.
