Just to be clear to all that reads this...she has had NO issues riding this bike other than having to be extra careful when going over some speed bumps or entering/exiting some steep driveways.

We thought about shaving the seat and raising it back up to stock height but she hasn't warmed up to that idea as of yet.
My wife is 5'1"-5'2" at best, I've lowered both of the bikes she's ridden w/o issue and I would take both out and flog them pretty hard. She's just MUCH more confident being able to get both feet down versus only one and give where she does most of her riding (mountains) I don't blame her, if we were in Kansas or Florida perhaps but here lowering works best for her. Plus she's not going to be riding around here like Stoner or Bayliss anytime soon.
