Bike lowering and tyre fouling?

I'm 28" inside leg! Looks like a scooped seat should be fine for me.

I had longer dogbones fitted to my K3, i think they were about an inch longer than standard and i believe they lowered the bike by about 30mm and i have had no bother whatsoever. The rear of my bike still feels standard with regards to ride quality etc.

^ the k3 has a higher rear end

Luckypants : tyre is fouling the fender under the seat.

Yorkie Chris: there is 10mm of fork through the yoke to not inc adjuster.

Def taking it back to get sorted. I can actually get both feet flat on the floor at mo so there is still some height to play with, especially if i reduce the seat a bit too.
