I don't know of anyone who makes a lowering "kit" for the VTR. If the triangulation plates aren't symetrical, you can sometimes rotate them around to lower a bike.
To me, a better method is a custom aftermarket shock made a tad shorter and lower the forks to match. Don't go crazy as this lessens your ground clearance.

What's up? Not gonna beat up the new guy, and tell him to use the "search" function.... lol...
Seriously Tucklo, There have been numerous threads on this subject, everything from using a VFR shock (or one from another Honda bike, as they are all supposed to be shorter than the VTR stock shock) to buying a $900 aftermarket shock...
I personally tried the VFR shock, though the end pieces were wrong for my bike. It has the same stroke length. Good luck and if you make it work let us know.

go to www.soupysperformance.com. Email soupy and tell him OZZY referred you and you need a lowering link for the VTR and see what he says. He makes them for a ton of bikes but he never had people interested in the ones for the superhawk. His are really good quality, turn buckle style and have a 4 inch height adjustment. They are priced around 99$ or cheaper.
