Great info. With my bike sitting on the kick stand, the exposed (shiny) part of the lower fork leg measures just 8". So maybe it has 2" travel-limiting spacers. Just seems kind of screwy that they took the front forks apart to lower them, but just ran the rear shock/spring preload nuts all the way to the top to lower the rear.
