    My girlfriend (5'5" / not sure about inseam maybe ~31")has a similar issue with her new SM630. So far I've taken all the pre-load out of the rear shock which has helped tremendously since she only weighs 125lb with gear. I've also lowered the forks in the triple clamps some.

    Yesterday I sent the saddle off to Seat Concepts to have a custom made allowing another 1" to 2" drop from stock and then stepped up in the back.

    I'm hoping this will provide her enough drop to get her feet just about flat on the ground.

    I will have to modify a kick stand since taking all the preload out of the rear and dropping the front forks has made the stock stand ineffective.

    If this does not work for her, the next step would be either a lowering link or rear suspension modification.

    I'm 5'9/5'10, with only a 30" inseam, but weight around 215 no gear, so I squish it down some. I have NO issue at all on my 630. In fact, I think it's a great height for the bike. Now, as for the other Husky's, like the TE's and WR's, no thanks, with those mid 38" seat heights, nah, just too tall.

    At 29" inseam, with the sag adjusted, and using a proper boot to give you a little extra, you should really be ok in my opinion, as I'm only a 30" inseam. It should work. You can always try it at the dealer and see how it works out for you??
