AMEN BROTHER!  5'6" here, too.... :2vrolijk_21:

I always wanted longer legs when I was a kid.  My dad said "how much longer would you want them?  They already reach from your butt to the ground". 
Bwahaha that's a good one. My bike fits me well with my boots on. They have a good sized heel really makes a big difference. I don't think I could say the same if I had an Ultra or Fugly...

I didn't know there were so many 'little people' on this site  :nervous:  :coolblue:.  Seriously, if you go the drop seat route & keep all the stock parts wouldn't it be a simple process to reverse the scooter back to stock?

Simple? No.  Entirely possible though.  But it's no small task.  By far, the easy fix is a different seat and thicker soled boots.  If that's not enough, then different suspension components are necessary, and the bonus there is getting rid of the crap that comes stock on the bike.

Easy now we're not little people just under tall. lol. The funny thing to me is all the TALL dudes that ride lowered bikes. Yes leg length envious at times HAHA. At least I don't have any problem with hi water pants.  :huepfenlol2:
