Your best bet is not to use a lowering link which changes the progressive linkage geometry. Instead have a competent suspension shop cut your fork springs and give you travel limiting bushings for your forks and shock. Also, you can cut a ton of foam out of that HUGE seat. Theres plenty of foam there!

They do suspension rebuilds, seat and sub-frame modifications. The owner knows older Hondas too.
