you are limited in back by the black liner on the underside of the rear seat portion, not the rear fender itself. just keep in mind the warning about the rear tire hitting that liner and eating through it. my recommendation is not to go past 2" in back.

my recommendation is 1" max in front. possibly more if you are willing to figure out fender to undercowl clearance when suspension is at it's max compression.

beyond that, you're on your own. if you do go more than those numbers, please share what you find as the max one can lower their bikes. I'm always willing to learn new things, but what I've stated is from what other members have learned about their bikes... some the hard way.

I'm not much into how the bike "looks", but rather on how it performs and from my experience, having the maximum travel afforded by the suspension design is always best. I'm all for shortening the bike for people needing to touch the ground, but I'm always against doing it for "looks".
