my wife has a problem riding her bike because she just don't feel comfortable riding because she don't touch flatfooted so she wants me to lower the bike.. can I get some advice please.

cut seat first. if that does not work, lowering links.

you cant drop the front of that bike too much or the triple trees wont clamp the forks properly as they are tapered in certain areas.

flatten the tires that alone will give you 3" +

Bubba knows best for your bike.

On my Honda, I used a Vortex rear lowering link (just changed the dog bone), then dropped the triple clamps an inch too. Only effect I have noticed is really tight parking lot turns. The clip ons will hit the upper fairing. No effect while riding though.

You can always remove the wheels, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Take Bubba's advice. I that doesn't work then try mine.

Hit up Chixxer, she lowered her 07 GSX-R pretty low. She'd be a great sounding board for ideas on how to best do it.
