Dude... a Heritage is a Heritage and a Fatboy is a Fatboy. Harley makes so many variations to fit different tastes. If you like the retro look with the metal studs and leather straps, go with the Heritage. If you don't, get the Fatboy. The FLST platform is the same bike underneath anyway. Or... get the Deluxe if you want the bags and windshield without the studs... or you know... skies the limit with H-D.

I'm 5'7" and have no trouble. My RK either. I rode the RK with tennis shoes yesterday (on my way to play tennis). Point your toes away from the bike about 10 and 2 o'clock even if you use the ***** of your feet when stopped. Your entire leg keeps the bike up, not just your ankles. Try it, you'll be amazed at how much more stable it is. Take the bags, windscreen, and pillion off the Heritage and it looks like a Fat Boy with wire wheels, which it is.
