Pullback controls instead of Forward controls?
Currently riding a 2001 Sportster XL1200C, but thinking of dropping the cash to buy my dream bike, a Night Train.
Only problem is that I'm only 5'5", which puts me at a big disadvantage as opposed to taller riders. \\; I've read pretty much every thread in regards to height issues on a softail and I know I will have to get pullback risers of some sort, but I'm wondering if there is a such thing as pullback foot controls? \\; Pretty much the opposite of forward controls.
Also, if there are any riders about the same height, if you have pics of yourself on your bike please post them so I can see.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

No pics of me on my old NT but I am 5'5" also and never had any problems with reaching the foot controls. (I have a 30"ish inseam).

I did install new risers with a 2" pullback which helped the crick in my neck and shoulder/back area.
