has the seat been sculptured? if so buy a new seat, if not take the seat off and see if anything looks different from your mates bike. Most shorties go for the former option.

Sorry not the actual seat but the whole tail it seems like they dropped the *** end for someone that may have been short i 'm not sure how to raise the whole rear end back up?

it sounds like you suspention is lowed probably for a shorter rider the front is probably lowered as well. Look at your rear shock and see if it apears to have been adjusted.
