[QUOTE="jeffd, post: 105549, member: 18789"] A word on the advice given above... Yes, you can lower the bike by reducing pre-load, but not 2-3 inches. Most manufacturers have a [b]maximum[/b] and a [b]minimum[/b] installed spring length specification. See what yours is. Do go ahead and reduce the pre-load on the srpring to the maximum allowed distance specified by the manufacturer and see what it buys you. However, don't use a punch as crguy said to use... go ahead and spend the few $$$ for a spanner wrench and avoid damage to the shock and/or neighboring components. If that doesn't work, you can have a local shop shorten the rear subframe a bit to effectively lower the seat without dramatic impact on bike/suspension setup. -jeffd [/QUOTE]
