How can you be 5'" and have no trouble I wonder! I'm 5'7" and the only solution that worked for me, without paying a small fortune, was to get my seat lowered, and have them install a backrest for about $500.00 including shipping. I added risers as well and that solved my problem but I still cannot plant my feet flat on the ground but have good enough control. My only problem is that my seat is harder than before so I'm looking to get a cushion or something.
