I'm 5'5" and race an '01 YZ 125 and had Wilkey (MX-Tech) do my suspension (revalve and springs) and it has helped a lot but the bike is still a little tall. I've heard a lot of different opinions on shaving seat foam... quite a few people don't think it's the best idea.
As far as RC's bike - I've heard that it's all tricked out... the subframe is cut down, the pegs are higher up, the suspension is all different...
