Lowering a CL175

Chip

Been Around the Block
The upper triple on my CL is capped with no clamps. Is it possible to easily lower the front?
 
Smaller wheel? Just kidding.

Not that I've ever done it, but you might be able to cut an inch or two from the springs inside the forks. You're going to reduce the travel of the suspension though.
 
I thought of that. Since it's a scrambler does it have a little more suspension travel than a CB, or are the forks the same?
 
The spring rate is also severly reduced, and thus may be well matched to the front forks' dampning characteristics. Is there a different available top tree?
 
Resurrecting this thread back from the dead... I've been searching around for this answer as well and didn't want to start a new thread unless I had to.

Did you ever figure out how to lower the front suspension on a CL175??

Anyone else that can come in with some feedback?
