On Gixxers dropping the triples is usually limited by where the forks
change diameter. Im pretty sure youre not gonna get near 2 1/2" You
may need to work out how low you can go, then work out how much you
lower both ends based on that and the options the dog bones give you.
Or there may be ways to get around the problems with the forks.

It might also be worth checking out some Gixxer forums such as
www.gixxer.com to see what people normally do with the suspension. For
instance, on the K6/7 750 some guys lift the triples until the forks
are flush, for better feel. So this might mean you could drop the rear
slightly more than the front (if you get what i mean). You will also
find some threads on lowering the various gixxers.
