I saw this in person and I thought it was awesome. I am not a big fan of lowering a bike. I am also the same height as you but when on a stock height I had no problem. I like to tip toe on the bike and I'm not afraid of dropping it.
How come you made a new name and not ask a admin to change it? I thought you were rusty 996 or I could be wrong. Nice 848. wish I had the money to do track.
