Shorter Rear CX500 Deluxe Shocks

Sorry Folks
I know many of you must have seen these post all over the internet on different forums, but I've never been able to find a definitive answer.
My girlfriend is a new owner of 1980 CX500 Deluxe :D The only problem is she's a little vertically challenged :D (She's short) and has a problem touching the ground. I asked about trimming some foam out of the seat but she wants to try fitting shorter shocks first.

Does anyone know of maybe 11"-11" half inch shocks that work on these bikes??

Thankyou

Check out the customization section on CC's site.I'm sure people have used shorter shocks,

Also you can slack off the locking on the front forks braces and allowing them up a high as they will go.Also I know a girl rider who has had blocks/extra thick soles fitted to her riding boots so she can ride her GSXR.
