Last fall my wife suggested that we get a Road King so we could ride together longer. Our 1988 Heritage wasn't doing it.A friend of mine can't ride anymore so he sold me his 2013 FLHR. I must say the ride of the King is amazing and she can ride for an hour before she needs to get off and stretch her legs. I do miss the handling of the Heritage. I sold it a few weeks ago.

Necro-thread alert!
I'm 5'6" with a 28" inseam (maybe add a half inch). I had an FJR1300, a 1200 Bandit, a BMW RT, a 2021 Goldwing, and a bunch of other similar bikes, all tall and heavy machines. I have never been able to flatfoot any bike I've ever owned. If I press down, I can (barely) flatfoot my new Road King, or close enough not to matter. The need to flat foot a bike is grossly overrated as my 100k+ of riding over 38 years with only two layovers (not drops, just oops moments) proves.
