The bolst are fine. I have mine down about 2 to 2-1/2 inches and other then being a little stiff it's fine. My wife is small but I still think you'd be fine. By the way, If you really want to get married, you better get her weight off this screen and never bring it up in any way ever again. They get funny about that.

I just installed the bolts last weekend. No problem with the bike at all. Rides the same since its got the same shocks only 1.5 inches lower :-)

Was quite a job doing the install though. Lots of little tricks you need to know to make it easy and also need the right tools.
