Your absolutely right, I guess I didn't think that through too well. In my mind the Landing Gear is more for disabled riders, I don't count chronic shortness as a disability. Sorry folks no offense meant toward short or disabled riders.

She is 5'2" and very adament about getting a Roadking.

Thanks

I'm 5'2" and I own a 2010 SG, and have the dropped seat kit by BaggerWerx installed on my bike. With that setup I have both of feet flat on the ground when at the stop. For me it was well worth it, and it is also less expensive than the Landing Gear.
