Iagree with most of this except,dont use your front brake. the only time you do not use your front brake iswhileSLOW SPEED MANUVERING. when in a straight line you should always useyour front brake and rear brake. this is what they teach in the msf course and Ride LikeA Pro and motorcyclecops. when you get ok at stopping, you should be able to stop without taking your right foot off the floorboard.Also, leave your bike in gear. This is so if you have to get out of the way of a car or whatever you are ready to go. onceIm on my bike it doesn't go in toneutral tilI get off the bike orparked.I was told this when takling to some motorcycle cops.

I have a low seat height and factory lowered rear suspension on my SE Fat Boy, so it sits quite a bit different thanmost touring models.

Bike may be too tall for you? You should be able to look in any direction when you are coming to a stop without problems. Riding a bike is about the same as walking. Two feet ...Two wheels ... Got to balance ... Can you stop walking while looking to one side without falling or wobbling? If not stop riding ... Maybe stop walking too ... LoL
