step 1....you probably want to lift the front of the bike a hair using any method you desire.
step 2...loosen the two pinch bolts on one of the forks, located on the triple trees.
step 3...slide fork down to desired depth.
step 4...tighten pinch bolts
step 5...take a measurement from the top of the tree to the top of the fork cap.
step 6...repeat steps 1 thru 3 on the other fork tube.
step 7...use previous measurement from first fork on second fork so they are the same exact height.
step 8...double check pinch bolt tightness.
step 9...go ride.
