Ironhead Can you slide the forks up to lower your bike?

the rear shocks were sold to a member on here but when i took um off i seen they were leaking so that deal died haha my problem is i cant flat foot on this bike and its uncomfortable to me ,my 2005 i can flat foot with sneakers on thats what im looking for on this bike.

winter time might hardtail the bike with a springer front end so im trying to go on the cheap now just to ride it for 2 monthes.

Sounds like these are the same 2" over forks as used on the XLS Roadster models. Be interesting to check the part numbers.

The whole fork assembly measures 37 inches from top to bottom I know thats not the tube length cause the tube inside the bottom of the sliders
