How to lower rear of xj 650 without fabrication

Just got a 83 XJ 650 and want to lower the bike. I can lower the front easy but i want to lower the rear 2 inches without doing any fabrication. Is it possible or would i have to buy new shocks for it and if so what year make and model shocks. I hear you can use 06 Harley Sportster shocks but don't know if you can lower them. Please put any info even if a little bit of fabrication.

I have the same bike. The shocks on the rear have adjustable preload which can lower the bike for you. Or you may even be able to find shorter shocks. Check this site for great info on these bikes. www.xjbikes.com

Check the oil
There is a small glass inspection window on the lower flange of the clutch cover (r.h.s.)
Picture of part attached.

Leave bike to cool on the centre stand allowing all oil to drain to sump and inspect window for oil level. It should just cover the window when bike is level. If the window is blackened from oil stains and no oil movement is detected, drain oil, remove clutch cover and clean window from inside with solvent and replace, replace oil with 2200cc oil, Cheers.510a044.jpg

Can parts from one model be used on another model?
