&nbsp\\;I ordered the "Slam Kit" 17-100 ($69.95) from Arlen Ness and had the dealer install it.&nbsp\\; Drops the bike from 1-2 inches and reduces the gap between the seat and the fender.&nbsp\\; One of the best things I did to the bike.

You'll need a saw, sandpaper, and measuring tape to equal the length or the chair's legs. I suggest just lowering the two back legs. Rocks easier! LOL

I pick up the bike Thursday.&nbsp\\; The tech said it rode alittle stiffer and my side mounted license plate is just that much closer to the pavement so it will scrape sooner. I don't know how long it took to install because it is part of a larger bill for a lot of work.&nbsp\\; I just like how it reduced the large gap between the seat and the fender.&nbsp\\; Sorry I don't have pictures yet, should be able to post some in a couple days.

It's a good thing your name is rockerheadsteve or we'd be wondering about you after that post.

Windeed,
Did you also have to get a different kickstand after lowering?&nbsp\\; I am also curious about the ride after the lowering.
