I wanted to lower mine aswell.I even bought the lowering links.BTW if you need a pair I can sell them to you for 40, made of aircraft aluminum.Anyway once I learned that if I lower the bike I wont be able to take corners the same way, I gave up the lowering idea.I tip toe aswell.What I did ...I shaved the seat about a inch and a half.feels better now.DogBone adjust my suspenssion aswell.He is a realy nice guy and the bike handles better now.
