Short Rider, Tall Dual Sport Seat Height

I am 5' 4" (163cm) with a 28" inseam. This motorcycle is a 1996 Suzuki DR350SE with a 36" seat height. Forks have been slid up the triple clamps by about .75", but on paper, I am still far too short for this machine.
I have been riding it for about 5 months now in this form, and over 3500 miles, and have never had a problem with the seat height on the road. I am an intermediate rider with 5 years experience, so this is not something a beginner should do.
I have decided not to lower the suspension, but instead will just shave the seat by 1". I hope this video helps someone else who is vertically challenged, and think they can't hop on a dual sport because of it.
Update: I have since upgraded the seat to a 1" lower Seat Concepts seat. That 1" made all the difference in allowing me to at least tiptoe with both feet. I would consider this an essential mod for short riders, and highly recommend it for all DR350s. I can now ride for 3 hours straight in relative comfort.
