Yea, for your height, don't go any smaller than a Dyna Lowrider. Even the Dyna Sport is gonna be tight for you.
I started on a 1200 Sporty, and even with the extended forward controls, I still felt like I was on a mini-bike...was told that that's what I looked like too. BUT, I kept it for a year, and rode the snot out of it. It was only uncomfy on long rides. Fun as hell on short romps through the twisties.
if price is an issue, buy a used one. if it's a starter bike, buy as big a foreign bike as you can, for as cheap as you can. I know where there's a nice 82' Honda for sale in CRE...looks like it could be a Goldwing variant, but a nice looking bike for as old as it is.

OK beginners bike and you'll probably be able to sell it or trade it in without a big loss. Like all Harley's they've improved over the years. Last one I rode, the mirrors were usless due to vibration and it screwed up my self winding watch. They now have rubber mounted engines and feel a lot smoother.Airgasm said:
If you're over 6', get the forward controls. What feels comfortable in the showroom can get real old in an hour.
I sure hope they come in 38 inseams.
