yes this is true, but not very much (maybe 1/2" at best ) due to the air nipple to fill shocks up, looking for mor around 1-1.5" . R kz550 or 650,700 forks shorter ? thanks

If you drop the front forks your handling will be affected. If you drop the front and rear you may find things scrape if you run through turns fast. Are you doing this for cosmetic reasons or is the bike too tall for you to hold it up easily?

I have a set of KZ750E forks, and a set of 1980 KZ750G twin forks, so if you need length measurements I can probably get them.
Both are 36mm
