When you say "balanced", do you mean doing the front and rear suspension, rather than just doing the rear? Because I am going to lower the bike front and rear. And since I'm only 23 years old, I think I can handle a few rough bumps around town. Thanks for the advice!

More info on your kickstand. I need to do the same. Does it still line up in the riding position? Where did you get it from? Part number?
Thanks...

Here's what I have: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370902805303
Rides fine in riding position, just needed to adjust the position of the rubber stopper on the frame.
