You can use shorter rear shocks. There was a thread here a year or 2 ago about using shocks from a Triumph Bonneville to replace the Honda ones. The top eye mounting matched, but the bottom one needs a replacement bushing. The thread mentioned the bushing used as a replacement. Triumph shock take-offs are on E-Bay from time to time so it won't cost an arm and a leg to try it. I have them on my CB since I run a Russell seat and with this setup I can flat foot the bike. (I'm inseam challenged too.)

Ok, see...http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7084

It does make getting the bike on the center stand more difficult - I roll the rear wheel up on a block of wood then put it on the stand.
