Miguel, he's fooling with it right now. For him losing 1" will make the bike less prone to falling down in trickier sections. For me it will most likely involve Woodschick's suspension guy who seems to get that short folks enjoy these bikes as well.

I'll throw up some photos tomorrow evening

Pics to come:
The bike looks seems like losing 1.5" through suspension adjustments is doable with the addition of riser, the seat has 4" of foam, and the foot pegs need to be relocated can be lowered a good 1.5 inches. I'm hoping that taking an inch out of the suspension and 2.5 inches out of the seat will be enough without having to do major work.

I can't wait to get Ms. Woodschick on this thing. I'm looking for a seat to butcher on ebay.

It's late and I need to upload some pictures. Carburetor is all together and getting ready for the install. We ordered a couple new K&N filters and the foam sleeves Seavoyage mentioned.
Dummyed up some experimental risers and the Other decided to convert the para glider trailer into a 3 bike trailer.
