lowering query

I have tried searching the database but have not found an exact answer
to my query so, how far can I lower KLR before the handling or the off
road ability(gravel roads, fire trails but no single track) becomes an
issue. My wife(5"5") has taken a sudden interest in my KLR so I would
like to lower mine as the experimental unit. This way if she changes
her mind I won't have to go through the buy and sell process. Any and
all assistance that can beprovided will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
