     I could reach on the balls of my feet when I first got it and now I can go almost flat foot since it's settled in over the past couple years of riding. Never had it lowered. Still can't back it up on an incline.

    Life would take on new meaning, if you were to lower that rear end 2"..... better handling, more confidence, the ability to back up your bike on an incline... the list goes on and on. It's the best $100 you'll ever spend!!

    It will also kill what little cornering ability the Warrior has. If she rides it and doesn't just use it to get to the next bar, that mod will be counter productive.

    It couldn't hurt to try a flipNgrind.  It's free, and if you don't like it you can flip it back (the current state of MY bike - heh heh).  The FNG really makes for a pretty comfortable height.  You'd have to ride pretty aggressively to grab pegs IMHO...

    when i did the FNG on mine a while back i really didnt notice it hurting the handling of the bike at all.  it brought it down to a stance that looks great and it still rides and handles wonderful. i ride pretty hard and rarely drag more than my heel, occasionally the footpegs. but like infedelrat said...you can always re-flip it for free...

    Out scaring old ladies and kids.

    Wow.... What kind of knucklehead bar hops on a Warrior? I put about 8,000 miles on my Warrior this year with the rear end lowered 2", and I weigh 210 lbs.

    I've got forward controls, which elevate my pegs quite a bit. The only scraping I did was to my old set of Samson Street Sweepers, and they're gone now. I can't imagine that someone who weighs under 130 lbs. is going to rip up a set of Big Shots in the corners.

    Personally, I like being as close to the ground as possible at high speed and in the corners. I feel much more confident, not floating up on top. To each his/her own. Just a suggestion.

    Yes, we wear helmets.  This was at a ralley last year where part of the road was blocked off for low speed picture passes...
