Changing the linkage is very easy if somebody helps you moving the wheel.

There is a lot of info in the old forum.

It's a two bolt job and if the bike's on the centre stand, place a plank of wood under the wheel and that'll make it a one man job to raise the wheel when it comes to replacing the 2nd bolt.

Be aware that your bike will steer much slower as the forks are gonna be raked out further.

Have you thought about getting a modified seat with padding removed from the sides rather than the top ?

That'll make it far easier to get your feet on the ground via your wee legs.

You mean 29 inches surely  :eek ... No lowering kit is gonna be low enough for someone with an 11'' inside leg.

Seriously, I don't know about hyperpro kits but I would imagine that most will function in the same way. I'd still adjust the seat though.
