Was this really necessary? Talk about sad. You're just another one of those people that cut others down to make themselves feel better. Seems like you're the one with the problem. Self-proclaimed badass. Even your signature reinforces your self-esteem issues.

Back on topic. To the O.P., there are many things you can do to make a bike fit you. There are some good examples in this thread. So if you're determined to make it work out, you can. Good luck.

i would really like to know how tall the O.P. is.... I'm 5'6" with 30" inseam.. and i ride a 2010 SG with a bone stock setup, stock bars, stock seat, stock shocks, stock forks...
I am almost flat footed (will be when i upgrade to a CVO 2011 seat)..and i have NO problem handling the bike..
Let me (or us) know what the problem is.. ALOT of guys on the forum have ALOT of knowledge and experience with setting up these touring bikes to fit...

once it rols its feel like a pocketbike to
I had the same bike setup as this on a road king classic. Make a note that these bars or the 508's are very much more relaxing than stock bars. I had a sundowner seat though but have heard that reach seats will move you forward some or just get the adjustable rider backrest to keep you forward in the seat. I still felt as if I was on the bike (top heavy is a good way to say this) vs in the bike (which is why i went back to a street glide). As far as stock tourers the new road glide custom or the street glide is gonna fit a smaller stature person imho. Ride all the tourers first and see what feels the best. I bet the street glide will feel best as stock though.
