need to lower everything...

[mouser]

Until now XS's were just my daily ride! While building old school Harley's
You all have inspired me to do a number on an XS.for a change... I have an '80 and a 76 frame to work on to keep me riding while I'm building...
I want to lower both my front and rear end by 1-2" and still have suspension. Consider that I'm a small dude and weigh 130 lbs soaking wet and always ride solo... Are there any bolt on shocks that will drop me that much? Front end lowering is taking me into new territory as well...
Ideas??? Thanks in advance....

Suzuki Savage shocks are 10-10.5 inches I believe. Which is just a hair over an inch lower than stock.

Also Hugh's Handbuilt makes front lowering kits in 1, 2 and 3 inch kits
