your all short
right im 6"8 as many will testify on here and had a curvy for years (now a thou)
things to adjust when big
1/ all levers, hand and feet, the reach to your hand levers do go towards body position
2/ raising or strangely lowering the seat will change body/ leg position which will help
3/ rearsets ,go fully adjustable its worth the extra coin belive me/ or raising plates which you switch over to make lowering ones
4/ if on a S use N triangles there about 1 inch lower
5/ the comfort mod for sale on here by various orgers
6/ dog bone change, this will help ground clearance after the above

ive tried all of the above minus the comfort kit
and all helped in varing degrees and tbh its a bit mix and match to suit yourself

Listen to the man!

You've got your answer(s)
Jack up and rear sets will cost between £170 and £200 (Jack up dogbones are about £25).

Slightly longer and stiffer (if its a stock unit) shock will also help lift the bike slightly.
