Is that the new hybrid Softail, that you can peddle (SIC) to save gas?

Seriously though. You should go to a dealer and have them help fit you. There are several options. First, you should make sure you can reach the ground comfortably...and safely. Then have the dealer help you determine the right combination of lower the seat, extending the sifters, extending the rear brake pedal, and lengthening the bars...as necessary.

What are the peddles? If you can reach the floorboards the shifter and brake are right there.If you can straddle the bike you can reach the stand.Have no idea what you mean,maybe I'm missing something?
