It is hard to say if I have lowered it or not because I didn't take measurements before. Since you do not have the same bike as me I cant say if the same set up will work.
I have installed 13" Burly Stilettos on the rear and I have installed the Slammer kit fork springs on the front. If you want I can take some measurements so you can determine if my set up will work for you.

Ok I am not sure what measurements can help but as you can see from the pic. My front forks measure 19 3/8" from the center of the axel to the bottom of the lower triple tree.
My rear height measuring from the top of the swing arm straight up to the upper shock bolt center is 11 3/4"
I figured measurements off the ground would be useless because I don't even have the stock kick stand. I think if you get the swing arm and front fork measurements the same then the bike should sit the same. You can even just slide the fork tubes up thru the trees to get the lowered look you want. Hope this all helps.

Your rear shocks are on lowering blocks. Put it back to the stock location and it will raise the rear end a bit.
Here is a picture of my bike I just picked up.
Don't mind the forward Controls, I do have rear sets waiting to go on.
I do want a proper Cafe stance, which this isn't.
What do you guys recommend?
Bike is in storage, do haven't measured the rear, but you can see its loooow.
Chris, sorry for hijacking, I just love your stance and want the same for mine.
