Vertically Challenged Mods

I'm 5'7" about a 29 inseam. I wanted to know what you short guys have done to your scoots to make things more comfortable / maneuverable. I'm getting ready to buy the wo577's for my SG and wanted to see what else I can do. Part #'s and such would be of great help also. Thanks in advance!

30" inseam here. Added the lowering blocks to the rear & it was a huge improvement! HUGE! Very happy here! It's like a different bike!

6' with a 27" inseam (Yeah, God was playing games the day he made me...)

I ride my RGU with no height mods. I can just flat foot it. I am always careful not to stop on uneven ground and i never, never put my feet down until the bike comes to a complete stop.

5'8" and I ride an Ultra. The dealer installed 1" lowering blocks, even though I didn't think I wanted them. He was right, there are times where that 1" really helps backing up the bike.
After having the bike for a while I also moved my floorboards forward a couple inches and out 1".
Kind of surprised me but the extra room behind the boards helps as well.

I am 5'6" with 30" inseam and put the Arnotti air system on my '09 Ultra and lowered my seat and can now pretty much flat foot depending on the boots I am wearing.
