[QUOTE="Ric in Sac, post: 462353, member: 432"] I ordered an Wilbers rear-shock as part of a group buy approximately 24 months ago and asked that it be made 1" lower. I then lowered the front forks approximately 3/4" [which is all the room you have with the stock handlebars]. It allows me to get a little more of my feet on the ground and has made a significant difference with low speed handling. It handles terrifically, both single and two-up. If you do not need much adjustment this might be the way to go. The added benefit is you will have an improved rear suspension with greater adjustability for loads. [/QUOTE]
