Thank you all for great input. I copied and gave the info to the young lady. She promptly ignored everything and fell in love with a '06 Dyna Low Rider. Because it was red.  Aw, well, it did have lots of extras on it and 8k miles.  As she got it she touches the ground with just tippy-toes. She's ordered the lower shock set, and thinks that'll be fine.

Again, thanks for great input (as usual)

Jerry,
         Any bike can be lowered and the Dyna's no exception. Like most problems, this one goes away by throwing money at it

I've discovered that the need to be solid on both feet at a stop is reduced as you get experience with the bike.  One solid leg down is enough -  most of the time.  Your friend loves her new bike, and that is the motivation she needs to figure it all out.  I love it when a good plan comes together.  She is right - red is the right color, all other ills can be fixed.

Unless you step down in gravel , sand, or the road leans to one side. This could cause a problem if you can't put your foot down flat, but for most occasions that's true.

Well, Candy is right: she loves that bike (it is sharp!), and that'll be the key.

Thanks again!

I bought an FXDB Street Bob and put lower rear shocks on and the Brawler seat... Was a great fit.  I am 5'5" and baout 140....  I like the big beefy SERK better
