longer shocks and lowering brackets?
I raised the rear of my N about 2" with ohlins shocks last year. The ride is MUCH better, but now I can't flat foot. Would lowering brackets lower the height while not affecting the ride quality? Who makes lowering brackets? I seem to remember a recent thread where someone complained about theirs bending.

yeah that was me that complained and gave a warning. The thread is below. It could have been a very very dangerous situation had I not noticed it. Thank goodness I tend to look over my bike alot. The brackets i mention in the thread IMO are very dangerous and should not be used. Thankfully I was only out $20. I rode well within the design and recommendations, and they were installed correctly.

the bike was raised over 2", I think they'e actually about 13.5" or close, and the springs are still pretty stiff so I don't think hitting the tire would be any issue. Then again, I'm not sure 1" lowering blocks would make enough of an issue to justify doing anything. I'll try to post a pic of the rear end, but it is significantly higher. Looks don't matter to me so much, but I'd like to be able to get my feet a little flatter on the ground.

from the looks of it, you will have no problem with the fender hiting the tire with the lowering blocks. I can't even fit my hand between my fender and my tire it is soo close and I barely ever bottom out solo.
