RE: Drag bar suggestions for short guys..
Before you go out and spend $200 dollars on carlini's check these out; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/9-5-PULLBACK-RISERS-FOR-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-SPORTSTER-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35564QQihZ009QQitem Z190198347392QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
I had regular drags on mine with the 6 inch risers and had the same issue, You lean too far forward. Saw some 9.5 pullback risers on ebay, got em' and couldn't be happier. Another guy that I know saw mine, and wanted em' too. Got him a set too, and he couldn't be happier. I have just the standard inch diameter drags and the 1 1/4 inch risers, and they fit just fine, no need to fret. They are only $45 bucks. I think that this will solve your problem, and I think that you will be happy.

RE: Drag bar suggestions for short guys..
Bck when I had my Train I ended up keeping the stock HD drag bars and bought a set of risers that were the same height but have a 2" pullback (actually they might have measured out closer to 1.5" if I remember correct).
I am 5'5" and I was stretched out just a hair but was still comfortable to ride to Laconia and back w/o problems. (It was about a 3-4 hour ride.)
