I know that these are a hundred lbs more than what you were looking at but they are still pretty light and shouldn't be at all difficult for an experienced rider of any size to ride.
Suzuki VS800/Boulevard S50 ~443 lbs dry weight, ~477 ready to ride....and a whole lot more giddy-up than either the Vulcan 500 or the Shadow VLX. You also get a less maintenance shaft drive, and have a bike that's been virtually unchanged for 20+ years, so there's plenty around that know its history/track record.
