Keep riding, you'll probably find you quickly get used to it as it is. Also new suspension wears in and settles, just as the rest of the bike does, so hang on for a while before making any mods.

Thanks for the info. I was told the same thing by several people so I will take all of that into consideration. The ultra limited low shocks I can get for a bargain from a guy who took his off new. So my concern was "why" he took them off from new. A guess would be for comfort or lack of.

Thanks. You are the third person to tell me that. One of those being my dealer!! So I may give it a little time yet and see how it goes. I am comfortable riding solo like it is just when I throw the wifey on back I prefer to have a little more stability. Flat foot on ground. So we will ride and see as we go. Thanks again!!!

I've never been able to flat-foot - Mrs B has to sit still when we're stationary or riding slow, but then I've been riding dressers since before it got fashionable to lower them! The front edges of the seat can steal some of your leg reach, so a little skillful reworking of the seat padding in that area can be helpful.

While that may help in describing your stature. It is the leg inseam that makes the difference. I am 5'6" with an inseam of 28". Somebody with say a 30" inseam would be better to flat foot better than I on a standard seat height.

TBR blocks are available on eBay. Good company/owner. If you don't like the blocks for some reason you can always sell them here for 50% or more real quick.

One of the things that makes a huge difference is the seat. As stated before. If you send your seat into Mean city cycles. You get the same seat back stitching and all. Check out there web site. The Harley seat that makes you sit the lowest I believe is called a (slim). Mean city can do that s well. You can go to a dealer and ask to sit on a slim to see if it makes a difference. It will. I have many vertically challenged friends they love it. Good luck.
