Well I checked out a 2006 speed triple this weekend and it was just a bit high for me. Does anyone make a shock to drop the bike just an inch? My short azz can just touch the ground and I would like to have a bit more support.

Otherwise it's a pretty wicked looking ride. The demo was out so I didn't get to try one =(

At 5'6" my azz dosent have very far to go.

My toes are just touching the ground to be more exact. ; )

I just dont want to be one of those goons who drop it at a standstill. I amagone if I can drop the shock an inch and possibly the seat I should be good to go. I assume I should drop the frount 1/2 an inch to keep the rake somewhat in line.
