nklr - mz baghira enduro, anyone try one?

[dirtmudnroost]

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
