Try some Gene Simmons KISS boots.

My inseam is also 29" and I had the dealer throw in the reach seat as part of my purchase along with a shorter windshield.&nbsp\\; I can easily flat foot and have found the reach seat very comfortable on long distance riding as has my wife on the back.

whatever you do,&nbsp\\; don't let a fatchick ride with you, the front wheel will lift and you will never touch the ground.&nbsp\\; JMHO&gt\\;&gt\\;&gt\\;

I'm flat footed with my trooper style boots, and much more sure footed than when I try sneakers. The main thing is that I've had my 08 Ultra for three days and 300 miles now. Went from a 98 RKC to a cvo springer and now to this. Wow is it top heavy, even compared to my Road king. But... I am way better at it today than I was two days ago. I suspect in no time I will be crawling around parking lots again. I would consider lowering kits, but I already scrape in turns, so I would prefer to keep the hieght and better handling. Good boots make a big difference. I have a 31 inseam btw.
