Shorter (yellow) spring on rear shock, shorter springs in front forks, different seat (thinner) I believe that is it... |

That is it. I'm not sure how you could lower the rear, but you could probably lower the front by sliding the forks up the clamps a little. But do NOT lower the front without lowering the rear an equal amount. Those who have lowered only the front complained of skittish handling before immediately returning the front to its' original height. |
