    What part of CA you in ? Then there is the ghetto method (Not recommended) modify rear shock and lower front tree on forks.

    I live in San Fernando Valley.
    I like your ingenuity but how is your bike handling curves with your rear shock like that?

    I think I'm going this route. Thank you!!

    I didnt lower it like that, I bought from a height challenged owner it was on a SCG to boot. I am 6' tall. I restored it to its correctness.

    If you lower the rear the front must be lower the same amount, to handle correctly. I have even taken out the fork springs and used the cutting torch cutting off 1 inch, I know I will get blasted for telling you that .
