there are a ton of topics about lowering on here, but yes a f3 shock will give you1" lower..
FYI- if you use the link that will be 1.5" in the rear and you will have to raise the triple trees up 1 1/4"

i have lowered alot of bikes so if you need any info let me know.. theres also write up in the how to section that i did..

but do not lower it the 3" you have to modify the linkage for the suspension, you will bottom out on the undertail and the front fender will hit the radiator along with blowing your fork seals in abouta week..
