Looking for best way to lower my M2. Can I just buy a M2L rear shock? I know I can mod the front shock hanger( Lengthen it) but is this the best option. I don't think any aftermarket shock can lower it (Works, Penske)

If you only need to lower it an inch, the M2L seat will lower it that much for about $150.

In that case, modifying the front hanger would be the best option, yes.

It may be a function also of using the m2l front shock hanger, the seat and different fork springs. If you lower one end and not the other your handling characteristics will differ substantially, I have found.
