Shane, in the first pic you can see how much lower you can make the front...

Funny you should mention that, Rick. I actually had the front pulled all the way down on the strap. But with the lowered fender and Catalyst upper there is a big gap in there. Yesterday I made some changes to get it lower..
I went 14 mm up in the triples. I dropped the rear about 1/2" or so. Here you can see a comparison, before and after. I now have 2" of ground clearance when strapped and the bike loaded:
I stacked tires up over top of Racheal when she sat on the bike, just to get the weights similar. 
Here is the way the bike sits now, with 2" of ground clearance:
It feels good and low.

I temporarily installed the bodywork, just to check clearances:
Everything seems to have adequate clearance for the track, but with it sitting so low it is tough getting that lower cowl on!
