-1 one the "imaginations"
My friend has a Road King, she is just under 5 foot and 90#'s butt she wrestles kids all day with physical/mental disabilities. Butt I have seen and rode with her flat out 1420 miles in 1 day ( mn to west wyoming) in 100+ heat. My advise wood be to sit on every and any bike until YOU find one that is comfortable for you. then look at other mod's to do , seat, lowering etx. Remember if you feel any bit uneasy in the show room you will feel very uneasy riding. My wife looked around for 8 months finally she sat on a 98 heritage and said "Yup this is MY BIKE" she is only 5-4 and 120 ( well thats what her D.L. states)

 

Well,

Don't worry. Pictures of all those bikes are on the internet.

 

Pics are required, preferrably without bulky clothes in the way so we can size you up properly..

 

If you are interested in a dyna, you can throw some 11" shocks on a lowrider, street bob, or superglide and get a low profile seat, like the bare bones on my bike below, and probably get where you want to be.

 

Welcome to HD Forums Tanya! As you can tell, you're bound to get varied responses to questions but there's a lot of great folks here who can help out in any situation.

As for using our imaginations... Giggidy-Giggidy-Goo!!

 

Family guy rocks!

 

please ignore all the posts' suggesting a sportster; even lowered.
+1 for deluxe and/or lowrider

before I get flamed per above - my first hd was a sporty so I've been there.

 

My wife is same size as you. I got her a Can Am Spyder. Did not have to worry about seat hight and being flat footed. The safety features of the Spyder makes her a more confident rider. It sfater than the harleys and plus a trunk to store your pocket book and rain gear. Just my thoughts.

 

Get a StreetGlide, get the seat trimmed as others suggested, front lowering kit and rear lowering shocks and you are set...Whatever you do ,,,,"DO NOT GET A SPORTSTER" I know four ladies that the tallest one is 5'2 they all ride either an ultra classic, road king, heritage sft tail & street glide. You will not lose any money buying any of these big twins..
