unless your riding switch pow the tail height on the vast majority of twin tips is more than sufficient

it is high enough for you to ride switch without a problem. The tails are almost always similar in height. Usually the tails are ever so slightly more gradual than the tips. It isn't a big deal really....

Most twins nowadays have equal or nearly equal tip and tail heights.  Even older twins with low tails work for pretty much everything except for tail butters.

The only teintip I can even name that is still being made that doesn't have equal tip and tail height is Bluehouse.
