Thanks, I just have a better technique the other way, standing on the left peg to set compression.

Probably 14.5
13.5 's with stock mounts will give you that look. IMO

Appreciate the advice, I’ll look for a set and experiment. |

grab a friend and a floor jack.
Have the friend hold the bike vertical, put floor jack under it and remove shocks.
Let it down to where you want it and grab a tape measure.
