RE: Small rider BIG bike
I agree with the backrest suggestions. It makes backing my Ultra way easier.
I have a freind who rides a Fat Boy. She's so short, she had an airlift suspension installed. Flips the switch as she comes to a stop so she can reach the ground. Flips it again as she takes off and in a few seconds, it's back up to riding height. Probably cost prohibitive though.
Another (probably) cost prohibitive option no one mentioned is a reverse gear. I'm not suggesting it and won't. Just saying it's an option.
You can read about one here.
Good luck finding something that will work for you.

The reverse gear pictured works well. I have a friend with a trike that has one. It's the same gear ratio as 1st gear if I am not mistaken.
