But my inside leg is 26.. so I have huge problems with bikes.
Anyway the bike came from fitting a guy who was well over 6 foot (6FT4 ) to fit little 5ft 1 me.
No garage would touch it lol..
But it got done and can be done its just how.
There always a clever bike engineer to be found .. if its a drastic drop needed .

Sounds like you had a major rebuild. have you got any pics of the bike after lowering?
It's not so tough on bikes with shock linkages, but loads of really modern bikes (like the new monster) don't use linkages, so lowering requires shorter shocks, springs, forks, etc...
...but in this case, all I need is 696 height on an 1100, so I think the low seat and clevis swap will do the trick.
