Are there any ways to lower these bikes?

Had to lower my 03 tiger. Rotate the rear chain adjusters so the axle is at the top and not the bottom. Slide your fork tubes half an inch up through the clamps. You will need to put a 10ml spacer under the back mount of the chain guard and keep an eye on the rubbing strip under the swing arm. I put an extra piece of nylon on the rubbing block. Can give more info and a piccy if you want.
It will handle like a dream, well mine does anyway. 90% of my riding is two up. My lady is an absolutely perfect weight for a pillion and she gets to scrape her boots on the odd fang through the mountains. Be careful though. bent a gear lever the other day and it cost me $100au to replace. Dam we were having fun though. Holwell Gorge for those who are in Tassie
