Big dog mastiff question

Hello,
I am new to the forum and I am thinking bout purchasing a big dog mastiff but I have a concern. I live in North Georgia and there are no places around to actually go see and be able to sit on any big dog motor cycles where I live. I am 5' 4" and I am concerned I may not be able to reach the shiftier and brakes with me being vertically challenged.
I love the bikes because they're not like everyone else who has a harley(not knocking harley's) I just want that custom look. I appreciate any information you guys are able to give and hopefully it will be good news. Stay safe and throttle on!!

They do make a semi-unicorn 1 inch retractable forward control set, IF you are lucky enough to find them. A push seat will help too. Or, add some big soles to your boots....Herman Munster style!

My wife rides an 06 Mastiff and she's 5'6". She could use a push seat, but can't make up her mind on the cover, so she's riding it with a stock seat now. The seat is low overall, so you should be able to touch the ground no problem, and with a push seat (+2" or so, they can be custom) ($300) you should be fine. Make sure you don't find one with extended forward controls (+2.5") and you'll be set. IF you do find one with extended controls someone here is likely tall and would swap you no problem.

And If you can't find someone to swap, I would bet 2to1 that Mr Wright could work his majic and come up with a solution.
