This has been a known issue with Harley since the beginning of history. It's not a problem with the hardmounted Softail engine and Buells and Sportsters have a 3-point mounting system that alleviates the problem. I'm baffled as to why Harley hasn't fixed this yet in the Dynas and Baggers.

Go figure.

 

im a little confused....what does short legs have to do with manuuevering.....your feet should be on the boards....not walking the bike..practice more slow speed riding...go watch a police motor rodeo and tell me these bikes dont manuever....they just flat out are awsome, from inner city to touring, they do it all very well.
