i should add since this has been a deal breaker for the last 4 people who came to purchase the bike.... she is tall! ive had mostly 5'7-5'9'' guys coming to purchase and they felt uncomfortable about the height. seat height is about 33.5 inches from the ground. there is still about 1.25 inches of adjustment left in the rear coil spring for preload/sag settings. also, a smaller shock from a cr125 or a pair of dogbones can be used
