Here's a link to the Lowering Kit that Agricola mentions:

Do also raise the forks through the yokes to keep the handling the same, but you can also get an adjustable side stand if you don't want to have the hassle of cutting down and re-welding the OEM stand.

One other issue is that it will make it a bit more difficult to get it onto the centre stand because it's lower.

Quote:it doesnt look like the F6 seat has a lot of meat in it to begin with to have some taken out ? anyone done so ?

Yes, I was going to use the lowering kit, but eventually just got the seat cut down by about an inch (and had the sides shaved a bit). It does turn the seat into a bit of a plank after a long ride, but I'm thinking of getting a gel insert instead for comfort.

BTW I have a 30" inside leg.
