its easy peasy. you just change out the suspenion links on the rear. they are often referred to as "dog bones" due to their shape.

you should be able to do it yourself, or with a buddy.

although you will have to lower the front too, and overall it will probably have a negative effect on the bikes handling

or if you wanna get real cheap, take the cover off the seat and shave off some of the foam :)

that actually may be better than the dogbones because you arent altering the geometry of the bike.

another idea is to get some smaller tires mounted.

or get her some boots with a thicker sole.

how short is she?

I've heard on another forum that has a whole bunch of newbs that taking air out of the tires will also help.

Not a good idea...

They also said that in order to get more speed they were taking the rotor off to help reduce the rotational mass and of course the caliper as well since that isn't needed anymore...I like stupid people, haha.
