Spirtgirl........ I doubt that you'll notice anything at all. If you're into fast tight turns,,,,,,, you may drag the kick stand. since you won't have floor boards......not much danger of dragging them. I'm betting you'll be fine. Being vertically challenged.... I find that the Dyna family of bikes can be a little uncomfortable for me to ride, because of the forward pegs....ie..lowrider and forward controls..ie...wideglide. Ride safe Lady and enjoy.

Good luck with the lowrider...I love the dyna..it's heavier than your current bike but very well balanced...and the 06 has been lowered from 26 to 25 inches to start...my dyna handles like no bike I've ridden..it's 1450 cc engine is large enuf to get me to sturgis and handles the twisties better than my old sportster...my 04 is approachin 30000 trouble free miles and I could'nt be happier...mine has fuel injection but that is a personal choice..lotsa riders swear by carborators... one thing they forgot to warn me about when I got the dyna is the bugs in my teeth ....you know.. because of the ear to ear smile I wear while riding it.
I'm new to the site. Been riding a year now after having only been a passenger one time - had to get my own so I could ride whenever I wanted to. I'm about to trade up from my little Spirit 750 ( been a GREAT 1st bike) to an '06 HD Lowrider. Will need to get that lowered as I am sort of vertically challenged. Anything I need to watch out for with the transition?? I put over 7500 miles on the Spirit in 7 months of riding weather - about half of that was riding by myself. What a great way to get your head together - beautiful Ozark roads, wind on your face - wow - cycletherapy. I also joined BACA - what a great organization!! My extended family...

Is that so hon??? Well lean on me and I'll hold you up. Wonder if any of the US guys feel that way...hmmmm

Boscoe: That line/this thread made me peek. 'Women riders' worked for me. Drooling over bikes myself. Have my m1. Being a second is lotsa fun, however, waiting suxx.
Been riding for a full year, as of Oct 1st and loving it. Never knew anything could feel this good and refreshing mentally. Always on the back , but tired of waiting for someone to ask me or meeting someone who wanted a passenger. Still love on the back, but now...thinking of upgrading to a bigger better bike. Funny how things work. Ladies out there..ride on.

I am pretty new to riding. Started this past spring. I will get my endorsement next summer, however, to have my arms around my guy, to feel him squeeze my thigh or grab my hand and pull me in even closer, as we soar down the road is as near to freedom as I have ever gotten. I have to totally trust him. To keep me safe, to...I don't know but for me it's freedom.
