Bought a 2006 Road King about 4 weeks ago. I was having trouble getting flat footed at a stop. I switched the seat to a "Reach" seat. It helped but I still had issues. After reading a post on here, I bought a pair of logger boots with a higher heel. I still was not completely flat footed. Today I picked up my bike after having 12" Progressive 412 shocks installed. Finally, I was totally flat footed. I know this seems like a lot of trouble to go to but the Road King was the bike I always wanted (I'm 57 years old) so I decided to do what I had to to make it fit. Now if I can just find a handlebar that doesn't kill my back and shoulder.

 

You had the rear lowered, but not the front?

How much did it lower the rear of the bike?

Does the bike ride any different?

(I've a 30-31" inseam and looking at getting a "flat foot" myself)

 

Try sending your seat out to be modified. Allen @ Mean City Cycle (Forum Sponsor) can get you that flat foot that you need for under $100.

 

Mean City is one of the options I am thinking of, but with only having a Badlander at this time I need to wait for the stock seat I have in the mail to arrive. If the stock seat doesn't do it for me than it will be sent off to be modified.

I might still have the bike lowered just to have a bit more room on the ground for uneven sections of the road or whatever.
