Goofy looking, like this?:
you can't compair the ride height/tail height of a cut seat rail bike to a stocker. put it next to a stock bike with an arm and it will look like a 4x4

zx14, little longer, little louder, little lower.

My point was that lower is not always better...you need some suspension travel, as you can see in the vid. A proper shock will allow that.
On the other hand, perhaps a nice long +12" swingram will work great with 2" of travel on a stock shock.

i bet if they could legally get the bike lower they would. but ground clearance and seat height stops them.

I think a Booza spring +12 would work for you. I have stock shock with rebound and compression set tight and booza spring +10 but 100lb heavier than you. I just kept adjusting the dog bones and tighten the shock until I had about half inch clearance between the undertail to tire and half inch clearance from bottoming out the shock. I go full throttle and start releasing the clutch @ the first light on a pro tree. My bike squats to its lowest point and transfer the weight before it ever moves; therefor leaving as low and with as much grip as possible . With the add leverage of the long swingarm its reduces the pogo effect you would see with a shorter arms. Also as I go down the track the bike rises but squats a little on shift points and doesn't brake traction. $80 Works for me.
