Alright guys, I've been doing some reading and just can't find much on the 900's as far as lowering goes.  I bought a 99 M900 and the bike has been lowered, but I'm not sure how to bring the back end back to stock.  The front they simply just bought some bar risers and dropped the forks in the clamps, but I cant seem to tell what they changed in the back, shock preload, center to center shorter with an internal spacer, etc.  The "linkage" looks factory forged so I'm not thinking this was changed, and I can't find anyone that offers a lowering link anyways for this bike.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this 6' rider needs to get this thing off the ground.

The only way to lower the rear of the older style monster is to screw the heim joints at the end of the hoop all the way in.

If you turn them out equal amounts the rear will come up.

Since short people are often lighter than tall people check shock preload too.
