You may/may not like what you have when you get done, unless all you want is to look cool.

most of the photo look like the haven a motor swap to a dio... you can find a shorter shock or move the shock foreword a little but you will need to do some welding to do so or have your motor mount streash some about a couple of inches... but if you do this you may need to cut the body panel some ...

Those pics arent really lowered they look stretched to me. I think if you shorten the rear shock all you will end up with is a scooter with a rear lower that the front. Looks like you want to stretch it.
