Lowering limit on Tenere

Can someone advise me of the maximum amount that one can safely lower the suspension of the 660Z without causing chain rub or other problems I'm not aware of?

The reason I ask is because I ordered some lowering links from someone but due to a misunderstanding they are quite long (140mm) and will lower the bike about 52cm. I would have preferred links to lower the bike only by 1". I'll have a friend copy the longer links now and make me shorter ones locally (about 133mm).

The Tenere I wish to fit the links on has a stiff aftermarket suspension, which doesn't sag much when sitting in it. So if the 1" drop doesn't work, I'll try the longer links which I have now.
