Welcome Gabe. Hope you've been enjoying your XSR. Think carefully before you lower the bike even more....reduced suspension travel will mean a harsher ride and lower clearance speaks for itself! Don't worry if you can't get both feet flat on the ground...most adventure bike riders only manage the balls of both feet on the ground, unless they lean the bike over to flat foot one side! The XSR is certainly taller than, say, the new SV650 - a great engine/gearbox/clutch but just not as pretty as the XSR.
