    worked well, i didnt need the fork compression tool to lower it but i had to take apart the whole fork to make sure i was threading in the screw on the bottom. i would recommend buying more fork oil if you do do this beacuse in the manual it says to use 7oz to prime the hydralic and the another 7oz for overflow and there was definitly not 14oz of oil in there to begin with. i still need a side stand though if anyone has one let me know. i will be willing to give you a high kickstand for it. PM me if anyone has one!

    i will post pics soon, i am at work and havent taken any since lowering. i am about 5'9" and was always tippy toed standing over it now i can almost stand flat on both sides now. i will check the part number for the springs when i get home if i still have them but i bought the springs from someone on ebay as a set. i think it lowered it about an 1"-1"1/2ish.

    sorry for they massive delay on getting you guys the part numbers for the front forks, things have been quite hectic over here the past couple of weeks. i am unsure of the part number for the rear spring but i have the part number for the front.

    J0113.1AE you will need x2 of these as they only come individually. send me a pm if you have anymore questions about this.
