Lowering

Hi all.

I have a 2013 Varadero 1000,
The problem i am having is the weight as its all high up.
I am looking into ways of making the bike lower to see if it would help. I do take a pillion 90% of the time and my preload is set to nearly max.
Now one thought is to buy 40mm hyperpro lowing links and a hyperpro rear spring. I understand the spring is 20mm longer than the OEM spring.
So what my thinking is, with both the lowering links and spring the bike will be 20mm lower. But i would not need to have my preload set to nearly max which would lower it a bit more.
So if i can get it to work out at around 30mm lower than it is now and the yokes dropped down the forks the same amount to.
So how does my thinking sound to you guys, do you think is will work and help.

cheers Mart
