I’m 4’11″, I run with a low profile tire on back and have lowered the bike everyway possible. Can ride the way it is but, would like abit more help with maybe a higher soled boot. Anyone else have this problem?
I would like to have a higher sole over the entire bottom of boot not just a higher heel. Have tried Local and out of town Harley dealer, Dennis kirk, J&P cycles also.
have you tried the local harley davidson store?
Try sportsmansguide.com, they got everything and it’s cheap.
Just take a pair of old boots to a local shoe repair shop and ask for some lifts. Just don’t go too high, or you could be risking injury while walking on them.
Sha Sha’s have a pretty thick sole.
I suggest buy the pair you see and like, then take them to a shoe repair center and have them resole it with a one inch riser, yes they will do this. The cost is about $40.00, but worth every penny, if it solves the problem and makes riding safer for you.
I did a resole on cowboy boots for riding, it made them just like any Harley boot, but with a better style.
You can also take a Justin roper boot and put the one inch riser all over the sole, which looks cool.
if your soles are too thick, you won’t be able to shift correctly. A harley Hugger is the answer. My friend has one with a very low seat and she is 4’10″
yes dear you need to go to denis kirk online and check out there boots and if no help the go to thehorsemag.com and shop or even widowmakercusoms.com
JetDoc and Txhyp said what I was going to. I had considered this idea myself after reading an article about the various ways to get your feet on the ground in one of the mags.
They’re also right to say you shouldn’t go too high – unless you can carry around another pair to change into.
Also check out this site. I didn’t look to see what they offer, but you might find something.
Ask a suspension specialist to add a link to your rear suspension to lower the seat height and it will ;
1. Cost about the same
2. Allow you to wear soles which will let you feel the controls, especially your rear brake press too hard on it and you will almost certainly reach the floor!
