I lowered my wife Cathy's 696, it is easy, but needs a bit of care.

1, get the Ducati lowered seat, It's not really lowered but they cut away the sides where your thighs go in effect it is easier to put your feet down.

2, take 5mm off the preload height on the rear shock.

3, drop the yolks 2,5 to 3mm down the forks. and take 2.5mm of preload off the forks.

4, do the bike and rider sags, (bike first) then with rider. (pm me your email address and I will email you a suspension setup for sags etc)

5, after doing rider and bike sags you may need new spring.

by the way I am in Lincoln if you want to come over and borrow a lowered seat etc.
hope this helps.
