Ok , you weigh 230 , so with leathers , boots , helmet , you're realistically packing 250 pounds on the bike , and with the wife , you're up to 360 pounds . That's a lot of weight for a lowered bike . You might could get away with it if you were to go hard tail and/or really hard springs . IMHO , just keep it stock height , they're great looking bikes just as they are .
