Welcome to the forums! You could lowering it with some shorter shocks or a different seat with a lower profile.

Put mid mount controls on it, you will have no problem reaching the brake then. Or a different seat. I got a stock lowrider seat that pushed me forward some, maybe an inch or two. That might be worth looking into. Got it off ebay for like 80 bucks in perfect condition.

+1, mid controls.
Big plus there is being in the correct position to actually control the beast aggressively should the need arise or if you would just like to aggressively ride it.

Welcome! Some on on this forum ordered a seat from C&C seats and she called them and they lowered a the seat a little more and moved the lumbar support forward a little more. She said they were great to work with. Also mid controls would help.
