I think it is longer dog bones to lower and shorter ones to raise it...but beware because it affects the handling of the bike. I think you have to also lower the front forks also especially when you lower it that much...but hopefully some one with more experience can help also do a search under mechanics section or bodyshop...Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from Bad Judgement :smt084

If you do decide to install lowering links, my guide may be of help (it's for 98+, tho...)

I lowered my wife's SV. Only an inch tho, an inch and a half may be too much... We dropped the front end an inch as well. If you still need more, you may consider scooping some foam out of your seat. This we also did...took out another inch.
On top of that, we added an inch to the bottom of her boots...may sound funny, but really it's hardly noticable!

ha, same bike as mine they used in that tutorial.
i'm 5'7" and tippy toeing on my kat. the only problem is that backing it up is sometimes a pain. otherwise i'm still comfortable at a stop with (at least) my balls of my feet hitting the ground. although sometimes i plant my shifting foot.

You can always add a bit more to her boots....I 've seen a couple women that ride with about 2" to 3" soles...

Sorry, I couldn't resist!here's some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece... Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place a delivery order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them.

(I'm surprised no one else brought that one up yet)Once you can accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinite nothing which is something, wearing stripes with plaid is easy.

Upside down dog bones
I was in my garage today looking at my shocks and mounts ets pre r6 rear shock insertion and I reckon you could turn the dogbones upside down and drop it an inch. Get an engineering outfit to whip you one up (custom dogbone). Shouldn't cost that much.1996 Suzuki gsx-f 750 fighter
