As for the above question, JayBrake (www.jbrake.com) does offer forward controls that bring your feet back. Pricey though...

5'6"??? have you tried a sportster, or a big wheel? j/k. i didnt read all the posts so i dont know if it was mentioned yet or not, but harley sells a pullback kit just for night trains. this kit includes the pullback risers and a set of handlebars. and you wont have to change your cables using this kit. if the drag bar look is a must (as it is to me) then there are planty of pullback t-bars or risers out there that will work fine, but you will be looking at your shoulders a lot in the mirrors.

I'll check the Harley kit to see if I like it and if not I'll check what's available for me aftermarket and get something quickly because the more I ride it, the more it gets stiff for the shoulders...Thanks for you input and your sense of humor!

Have you checked out the street slammer bars? Pull back risers and bars all in one piece...you can find them pretty cheap in the classified section and I have a real nice pair that I'll dump for cheap. Here's a pic of them when I bought my train.

I just checked and saw that these seats brings you closer to the bar and pedals. Thanks for the tip, that is an awesome idea!

Congrats on the Night Train. I have no trouble with my mirrors and seeing behind me with my 8" pullbacks. I think the street slammers are wider however than the stock handle bar (which I didn't want) so they may suit you better.
