All great ideas and thanks for the replies. The G/F does ride with me quite often so I have a sundowner(lazy boy) that sees a lot of use also. I will probably get the fender bib for the rear for when I ride solo. I have been hesitant about lowering due to the ride quality w/ passenger etc... (She is a normal sized girl 135-145 lbs). 
Also been thinking about a tag relocation kit and smoked rear tailight. So will I lose any ride quality if I lower it? If not what kit is the standard? I am sure that is not an area to try to cheap out on.

when you lower a bike/car your always going to sacrifice the ride for a better look. The only way to get both would be with an Air Ride where you can adapt the bike to what you need per ride.
Ride with chick = pump that sucker up and ride like stock
Ride Solo = Lower it and look bad ***
Park it = SLAM that thing and sit back and watch the people gather around
Now, the only thng that stops most people from going this route is usually the difference in price.
$60-100.00 vs $1000.00-1600.00

~Actually the cheap($25 ish) bolt extenders on ebay are fine for the rear...
Someone had a set of shocks with the lowering bolts already installed in the classifieds here.
~ Progressive springs up front ($100 ish)
~ Get a spanner tool too... you can then adjust the rear, for when you ride two up

Another suggestion for your ride.
Black out some bolts on the engine, fender struts etc.
cheap and effective
