Re:lowering kits???? 4 Months ago  
yeah there is.

-Flip and Grind (FREE, see tech article on this site)
-Something like Barons (http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/563/index.html)
-Adjustable dog bones (http://www.looneyseats.com/html/lowering_kits.html)
-Air suspension
(http://www.nopork.com/shop_product.asp?id=BBAR-RS-TP&grp=performance)

These are not the only choices, but I think these types are about it. If using the 1st three options, probably should get a heavier spring.

side note, if you get the new relay arm you will have to get bearings pressed in for a few extra bux...i just did the flip and grind without a stiff shock (170lbs) and after 100 miles today did not scrape at all but with stock spring and the grind you can kiss 2up riding goodbye most likely

Re:lowering kits???? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
The Tricky Air Ride was really easy to install and kinda cool.
Goes straight to the ground on command. If I could only get the misses' to do that... :0)
Haven't driven it lately to see how it handles. The bike, that is...
