For the shorter rider that wants to lower the rear ride height. Is it better to compensate by changing to the quicker steering head angle, or to also lower the front by changing the position of the forks in the triple clamps ?

there is a cheaper option - I shall call it number '3' option:

One can purchase boots with deeper soles & heels to make oneself taller, therefore not needing to adjust the goemetry of the bike.
A diet may also possibly help in your case Mr Sheep

However - should one like to make the bike turn in quicker, one could drop the forks through the yokes to lower the front a little.

One could however, take up riding pillion instead:P

- or even worse, buy an import hon..hon.... unmentionable word, which is lower to start with!

Is this a correct answer???
