As per the results of Rich's investigative work (I confirmed the results 
)I changed my rear wheel to a 16" and the tire to a 180x60x16. This combination is 1" shorter overall than the stock 18". After riding Rich's bike I like the gear change, best be quick with clicking through the gears!

We goofed around today checking travel limits on the bike. With a stock 18"x180 the tire makes contact just under the 9 1/4" measurement. It hits on the forward edge of the fender under the seat, an odd place.
With a 16" wheel and a 60 series 180 we did not see any tire contact. The suspension ran out of travel first at 8 5/8". Using the Monroe's and a 1" lowering kit it netted me 8 3/4". So we bolted it together and I took it for a ride. With all of the air out the bike rolls just fine, no contact.
Left side of the bike, swing arm/frame contact point.

I had a 12" Windvest on my 01 that was great so I installed a 12" on the 13 and I can't see over it without sitting up nice and straight. It is just to tall. The 10" may have been a better choice for this bike. So after riding today I just couldn't deal with the windshield anymore so I cut it! I cut 1 1/2" off of the bottom which netted me about 1 1/4" +/- of height loss. Cutting the bottom off made the windshield about 1/2" shorter on each side. I can live with it until I find "The" windshield of my liking.
