They seem tall bikes. I know someone looking for one, but he's short. Anyone lowered one for a short rider?
Any problems geometry or clearance wise doing this, besides the obvious?

My wife's old MTS 620 was lowered a little. Adjustable link in the rear, and forks moved up in the triples the same amount. No issues.

So the usual thing. Cool.
How much lower did you get it and maintain tyre/head clearance and good chain run?

Not positive, but I think it was about an inch lower. She's 5'4" and did well on it.
