Jim, I've done the tail chop, grips and handle bars/clip-ons mods.  Love to help; let me know  

Do you have the adjustable "dog bone" link/suspension piece on the swing arm?

[pipeliner1978]

I'm no mechanic or anything, but I'll come over and drink your beer, and for a few extra $$ I'll harass the help

I'm not sure if it does.  I'm not sure what it would look like?  Here's the only pic I have handy of that area of the bike.  Is this what you're talking about?

[never2loud]

Hmmm, yeah that's it.  Your bike doesn't look like it has a link like the one I was talking about... Could be wrong 

[pipeliner1978]

Don't raise it, highway pegs and drag bars

[Bonwilder]

Can't wait to see the photos of this bike.  Guess I am a little sentimental because it was my first motorcycle!  Lindy, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!  I think the white will be really hot!  Excellent choice!

that's the older style hoop suspension.  There's a bit of adjustment in the ends

Thanks!  Are there any alternatives if the "bit of adjustment" isn't enough?

You can get some added height from the spring/shock, if you end up adjusting the preload to a ridiculous point, you may end up needing a new spring. 

and of course, the front can go down instead too..

the saddle height on the SC are pretty high, especially with the wide seat.  Buy her one of those nifty things and sell the M600 to the short chick down the block..........I think her name was spacey tracey?  I dunno I'm not good with names.
