I used Wilbers to lower my bike 3 inches and love them
I lowered my bike by 3 inches using Wilber shocks several years ago and have been very pleased with the results. The only negative consideration is that I scrap my bash plate when riding off road. Me and a buddy of mine both rode our 2005 r1200gs to Colorado in 2006. We used a jeep trial to cross over one of the mountain passes outside of Silverton. I bottomed out so often that I tore my stock bash plate off and flattened one of my exhaust pipes.
But it sure is nice to to be flat footed on my bike.

+1 for Hermann. I just swapped my R1200R ESA shocks for Wilber's ESA, but stock ride height. What a difference! Hermann received my old shocks, attached the Wilber's custom bits to the old ESA housing, and took it back to UPS in less than a day. (The Wilber's bodies took three weeks to come from Germany before all that, though.) Great guy.
I paid an extra $100 and had the springs powder coated black.
Cheers, Tom
