my advice to you is dont touch it.try and make a claim with your insurance and you will be in shit.this would have to affect your policy.as soon as you lower a bike it will affect handling especially the R1.you can do it by buying lowering links which you can get in the states or get them made up here but why?you would then need to raise your forks through your triple clamps but why again?if your a shortarse like myself get used to it.im on my tippy toes when im on my bike but i put up with it as i wouldnt even contemplate lowering it to suit me.if its for the drags then go ahead and do it but put it straight back to standed when your done.you cannot get a shorter spring as this affects the stroke of the shock.the only way is lowering links or shaving the seat down but as you know on the R1 theres not much padding on there as it is.anyway thats my advice on lowering a bike.
