Linda...You can put an air shock kit on the bike and that with a lower seat should fit you fine. The air shocks I am speaking of have an compressor onboard so you can lower it when you stop and raise it when you go. That way you won't drag the floorboards.
Food for thought.
Welcome to the forum.
Hi Lady Deluxe, thank you for your info, and congratulations on your new Electra Glide. What part of Wisconsin are you from? Since we are close to the Can/US border, we ride into the Northern part of Wisconsin quite a bit. I bought my Deluxe from Open Road Harley in Fond du Lac.
Hi Knoxville, yes I've heard of the air shock kit, talked to St. Paul Harley in Minnesota and they suggested the same thing, and as well I would put a Reach seat on the Street Glide. I hope I'm replying in the right spot, as I'm definitely new to this.

Hi Knoxville, thanks for the suggestion on the air shock kit. St Paul Harley had suggested the same thing, and yes, a different seat was on my list.
Hi Linda, I'm 5' 3" and 135 lbs almost a senior citizen and riding a Electric Glide Ultra Limited so yes you can ride a Street Glide. I do have a lower seat on the bike and wear boots with a thicker sole.
Congratulations on your new Electric Glide. That's a big bike. Wow.
Yes, I have a different seat on my list. I don't know if I'm replying in the right spot. Kinda confused with this forum. Linda V.
