I wouldn't go more than 1". That will look great,won't change the ride or handling, and you won't hafta change out the kickstand. Any more & you're gonna bang,especially with a passenger.

Mine is somewhere between 1 and 1.5". There's some travel left but not much.
Let's put it this way- I avoid potholes at all costs.

My Heritage is lowered 2", and no problems even with a passenger. It will make your pipes look like they are angled down a bit though. IMO it will never look stupid though!! You will have to watch how hard you come through a dip, like drive ways or parking lots if your pipes are of any length like mine, because they will scrape a bit if your not careful.
