My girlfriend wants to ride the 748 ('01 model with an Ohlins rear shock) and she can barely get her toes on the ground with the bike in an upright position. She's comfortable riding but not comfortable with the height of the bike. Is there a way to lower the bike an inch or two? Not really concerned with race track handling or anything like that, this would be for riding around in general. She'd just be much more comfortable with the rear end a bit lower. I know with other bikes you can get lowering links which we have done in the past but that doesn't apply here. Do I need to get a custom shock or something? Anyone have experience with this? She's about 5' 4" maybe just a bit less.
