2. Grip the tank with your knees more, it takes weight off your wrists.

3. Try and stay relaxed when you're riding.

4. Ride more, you will get used to it after a few days.

Failing that, If you drop the rear end you'll need to drop the front to otherwise you'll mess the handling up IMHO so thats not going to get you anywhere.

Your local Suzuki dealer should be able to sort you out with some longer dogbones if you're going to go down that route.

Hope that helps and welcome to the forum
Yes as fizzwheel said try first to alter your riding before changing the geometry of the bike. Point three is the best one because you mentioned you had a chick on the back. I find it very hard to stay relaxed with a pillion never mind a chick climbing on me
