Hi There, I have an 01' with some height issues (I'm 5-6 with short legs) I have already installed progressive shocks on rear and just got done reshaping the stock seat as most of my reach problem is that my rear end isnt that wide.  I'm much more comfortable, but I have found a set of springs for the front forks on scootworks.com that claim 3" reduction.  Has anyone tried these? I know scootworks seams legite, but just wanted to be sure.  Thanks.

Hmmm....  Not sure I would do that.  You only have about four inches of travel in the forks to start with.  Honda says six inches but the bike compresses the spring a couple of inches to start with.

Try raising the forks in the tripple tree, you can raise them about an inch with no problem.  That along with shorter shocks should fix you right up.
