I wouldn't mess with the forks or the shocks unless I *really* knew what I was doing.
Read the book Total Control - High Performance Street Riding Techniques by Lee Parks. He has a whole chapter dedicated to the geometry of the bike, and how the different aspects of the suspension (compression and rebound) affect handling and overall safety.
I wouldn't just go screwing with the preloading on the forks just to lower the bike, because this could have very bad consequences for the handling and safety of the bike.
