Thanks guys! If funny, riding this bike makes me feel like I riding in an expensive foreign car and everyone looks at it. Now I understand what the big fuss is about riding a Harley. I will never ride anything else!

OK for all you Road King Harley riders especially the custom I need help. I need to get the bike lower than it is. Harley says there is nothing to be done. At 5'2" tall I cannot touch the ground with my heels. When I bought it they said I would be able to get a reach seat for it that would bring me down 1 1/2 inches and forward 1 1/2 inches. Well that was not true because as it turns out that seat won't fit the custom so now I am stuck with a new bike I cannot ride. I am getting the seat cut down but that won't help enough because with the seat completely off I still cannot touch my heels down. Anyone out there any suggestions. I also have been told the lowering kit to relocate the rear shock will not work on the custom. Other than getting three inch platform shoes does anyone have any suggestions.
