    Keith, the seat is pretty tall for me and I have the lowered Sargent seat like Dan, 1" rear lowering link, and pushed the tubes up 1" in the triples. With a 30" inseam I am still pretty tippy-toed on it and have dropped the bike probably 5 - 6 times since I have had it when I tried put my foot down at low speeds and nothing was there. If you have the handlebar and engine guards you should be fine. I am on my third set of handlebars though. Once you get used to it though the seat height vs. additional suspension travel is a good trade. Brian and I are still discovering new roads in southern Indiana that we never would have gotten to on street bikes.

      I use a set of anti/vibe Rox handlebar risers with an oversized aluminum dirt bike bar... Seems tough enough.
