Congratulations on the new bike! Be sure to keep coming by to visit wwe really do care

I think you made a wise choice do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Learn how to turn and burn on the sportster and you will be leaving others in the dust.

God Luck!!

 

You are getting a lot of good advice and here is another that&nbsp\\;is support of the Softtail Deluxe.&nbsp\\; It has the fatter tires which will likely handle better than a low rider.&nbsp\\; It has the lowest seat height without lowering the bike, it is a sharp bike for male or female.&nbsp\\; My wife is 5'4.5" and has tried about all of them over the past 10 years, the Deluxe is the best fit and this includes every&nbsp\\;other brand&nbsp\\;bike she tested.

 

Thanks everyone..for your luck and advice, it's all good information, and will be helpful down the road as well (except I might have to pass on the stiletto suggestion..would probably fall over just getting ON the bike..ha!)&nbsp\\; I just may&nbsp\\;try to get a picture taken this weekend![sm=smiley17.gif].&nbsp\\;

 

Tanya-all you need is practice in the stellitos!Im tellin you it CAN be done!Maybe when you get a few more miles we can talk techniqueHave lots of fun on the Nightster.

 

Low rider or softail deluxe

 

Glad to hear you're loving your Nighster. Me too!&nbsp\\; I'm 5' 3-3/4", and, ahem, around 135 lbs and it's the perfect fit for me. Despite what people say, the Dyna Low Rider is NOT comfortable for me (too wide), and I'd have to do a bit of work to make it so. The Deluxe is a better fit, if and when I ever decide to trade "Saphira" in - but I can't imagine that for a long time to come and by then, who&nbsp\\;knows what other options might be available.&nbsp\\;Good luck and safe riding!

 

Man, this just won't die. In the future I'm starting all new threads with "petite woman wants..." so I'll get lots of replies.
