Nice looking scoot. How do you like your extended controls? I can't decide if I want to install mine or not.

bolts are OK to lower but be aware the ride will be compromised no matter what method you use. An air suspension will give the best "compromised" ride, followed by Progressive 422's or the like, and then stock shocks and lowering bolts being the worst. I use the Progressive 422's and the ride is pretty good, but not as plush as stock. Big ridges in the road transmit to a pretty hard hit. I've hit a couple of things that jolted a little pain to my back, but that's infrequent, and I'm getting old.
