Similar boat as you, I'm 5'9" 165. Years ago shaved the seat slightly to add a silicone pad insert, and installed a YSS shock. Much better adjustability, handling and overall use enjoyment. Can put both ball's of feet on the ground, or flat foot one side. 50/50 riding time with wife & tragkorbs vs solo. *front springs should be adjusted, if new rear shock. Tires can make a height diff, I just don't notice it. Cheers
