Sounds like it has a lowering kit installed. 800s are taller than 1500s..

Hello,

I just bought a 2000 Drifter 800 (8600 miles), and one of the first things I noticed was that it seems to ride extremely low.  I find myself dragging the foot boards during moderately sharp turns, and when resting on its side stand I fear a stiff wild will knock it over.  Also the suspension seems overall to be soft and squishy.  I've read on this site how the rear monoshock can be adjusted, but after locating it I discovered that it's already at its firmest setting (setting #7).

Aside from replacing the rear monoshock (they cost close to $500!!) is there anything I can do to stiffen the ride and raise the ride height?
