Doug,

I'm guessing  you didn't notice this in Joel's original post:

"I'm already aware of the  obvious 'raise the forks' and I think one can
rotate the rear hub in the  swingarm to drop the rear a little..."

You're right...my  mistake! Sorry to take up bandwidth with the obvious! 
:- (
My bike  was setup with the rear lowered from the dealer (by mistake I 
assume). I was  dragging the center stand on hard cornering in the mountains and a 
lister  recommended that I rotate the rear hub to see if it raised the 
rear...which it  did. I noticed no unusual chain wear with it in the lower position 
for 15K  miles.
