I think the bars you are talking about will help, not sure if it'll help enough or not. My guess is it will. how about pics of the bike?

Now for those of us like myself who are interested in the mod for practical reasons I did an experiment of sorts. I am 5'6" 30" inseam. If was looking at my bike and thought "3 inches is about the height of the seat". So I took the seat offand sat on the bare frame. My observation, yes I could reach the ground much better, but the angle to reach and operate the heel shifter was awkward to the point of not being functional. I just don't feel comfortable dropping that much coin on the hope that it works out. JMHO.

If the seat is thinner then, how much thinner? Maybe 1/2"? One inch tops? Let's say 1" for simplicity.

If the drop seat kit lowers 3", and the kit seat is 1" thinner, then don't you actually drop 4"? You said 2". I think you did the math backwards?

I'm able to see over the fairing. This is the kit from Bagger Werx.
