Heres the question? with the 9.5" struts on the rear what length under should I go for on the tubes? or should I just go in the tubes and make spacers to lower? Any suggesttions are much appreciated.
I believe you to be in uncharted territory there. Not many people want to go lower in the front.
I hope someone can chime in to help you, because this interests me. Are your rear struts 9.5 center to center on the bolts? 14mm holes 18mm deep? How close on rear tire?
Maybe the thing to do would be to measure the stock forks length, then have a friend push the front down until the motor is leveled and measure the forks again? Just an idea.
Also, you might want to have a friend take photos of you on the bike. I bet that the bike sits more like you're wanting it with you on it.
