I want to thank everyone for all the advise and comments, special thanks to Mike G in SC for recommending Wild Bill. As Bill suggested I decided to lower the front by raising the forks. The reason I decided to go this route is because there is no need to replace any parts and as long as you have a good tool box anyone should be able to do it. I admit I took my sweet time since I was not in a rush. I began early evening and finished the next day. I lower the front 1.5". I am 5' 6" with a 29" inseam and am still not flat footed. I also have the cut down Corbin seat for those of you getting ready to suggest that However it is close enough. Also as Bill said the handling is much, much better. Easier to maneuver and my handle bars don't shake anymore when I let go of the handle bars. All in all am happy the way it turned out. Thank you all.
