FZS 1000 height

[fireblake]

I have a Fazer 1000 with R1 forks and an R6 shock. I've got the dog bones that Luke supplied with the shock to keep the standard height. My question is, how much lower would the bike be with the standard bones back on and how much would i need to drop the forks through the yolks to even out the height and do you think this will effect the handling of the bike. I'm going to be do a lot more touring on the bike and as I'm a short arse I was hoping to pad out the seat a bit more. I normally like to ride with a bit of spirit and have dragged the pegs a few times but I'm not planning on riding like this with my tent and all my camping crap on the back. Your thoughts and suggestions are always valued and Thanks in advance.
