I don't really understand the "makes the bike fit me " argument, it doesn't change the bar/seat/peg relationship, so its just sitting at a standstill that is different.I would have thought that doesn't really matter. Am I missing something ?
if your a midget or 8 ft tall jacking the bike will make no difference, you would both feel the same improvement / change of feel.as far as looks go, if your on it , it makes no difference, only at a stand still will it make a difference and if your tall complete control over your bike cos it seems small is only a good thing.

I recently had an unsolicited comment from a bike mechanic that I'd never met before who said my bike looked spot on for my size when I was stood by it and sat on it, contrast that with being told by my wife that she thought I looked silly sat on my fireblade as I was out of proportion with the bike.
