You might consider having your seat lowerd buy MeanCity .
I am short i sent my stock FLHRC seat to them have them narrow it a cpl inchs , lower it a cpl inchs and add memory foam for comfort .
The seat is now a cpl inchs narrower and a cpl inchs lower ,looks good, very comfy after the 600 mile breakin, thrifty price way cheaper than buying a new low seat .
It only coast me $18.50 USPS with insurance. Allen shipped it back FedX only $15 .
Total cost including shipping was just under $150 way cheaper than buying a new low seat .
I just got a set of Phoenix Customs rebuilt 11" Bitchin Bagger Drop shocks .
i will put on soon as i get a few warm days .
will let you know how they work out .UPDATE ! UPDATE ! Iinstalled the BB shocks great .
The bike rides better no bottoming out 25psi solo 35psi two up.
Also if being short makes it had to put the jiffystand up or down HD makes a great kickstand exstention kit for about $30.
Also if you find your bike sets up to straight after lowering Drag Specialtys makes a KickStand Wedge kit that changes the angle of the bike so it leans over farther on the kickstand . This is also more thrifty than buying a shorter kickstand.

If I can't touch flat footed then, well I guess I will be SOL! Lol.

I'm 5'7" w/ 29" inseam. 160#, ride solo, but load down when traveling. Seat modified by MeanCityCycle, Phoenix Customs' 10.75" rear shocks w/ 30# pressure, HD lowered front springs. Raised and out 3/4" floor board by Kury.
Early on put 15# on rear shocks, must have hit a good bump somewhere, sometime, the drive belt rubbed against battery box, making a slight grove. Went up to 30#, no issue since then. Ride OK, definitely can tell rear is a little stiff.
Still cannot flat foot totally unless I stand up. No biggie at stop, rather challenging walking the bike backward trying to park and turn.
