I think you will be fine. they make a low bike i think it is called a hugger or something like that. they also make a slammer kit that lowers the ride height of the bike. My buddy sat on my 99 1200 XLC and he is 5'5'', he didn't have any problems. I would assume the best way to find out is to go to a dealer and sit on one and see how it feels. if you cant put ur feet flat ur still ok you should be able to rest the balls of your feet on the ground, But i am telling you i rarely ever have both feet on the ground i just lean it over to one side and keep the my other foot on the peg.
 
nothing wrong with a little Sporty - better to ride a Sportster than wreck a Road King.
I've got a Softail Custom and it's not very tall, maybe a Dyna would work too.
This would be a good excuse to visit your local dealership and sit on various models, sometimes they have test drives but you have to have a motorcycle license.
 
...Harley's will I fit on? Its been a few years since I owned a bike and I really want to get back on two wheels. I've gotten away from sport bikes because i've grown up and I want to just go out and cruise. I am looking at buying my first Harley but I don't have a clue where to start looking because I ain't exactly the tallest guy around. I'd really like to get something other than a Sportster if its possible(not that there is anything wrong with sporty's). What suggestions do you have for me?
