Welcome to the forum. I think you should go to a dealer and sit on some bikes to see how they feel. They offer you a test ride go for it, you don't have to buy anything. Best way to see what you can handle.

Any help anyone can give me would be great

Thanks

Do you have a license? If so, there are demo rides at:
Buckminns HD in Xenia, OH on October 6th
Grand Rapids HD, Hudsonville, MI October 20th

I think your license has to be at least a year old and you need a DOT helmet.

Go ride several harleys and see which one you want.
