I've had it going on the bike for the last two years with 13,000 miles and it's still perfect on my 2009 Road Glide with no change that I've notice....

I did one on my Dyna and it is easy enought that you can always statt small and trim a bit more. Of course your scoot may have less acessibility or other challenges. Did you lower the rear as well? I lowered the dyna (yep a lowrider) by an inch in the rear and tried the drop in kit at stock but the front end fallover (or whatever it is called) at slow speeds was bad. I then went a half inch and things got better, about 5/8 inch and bingo all was as I wanted it. Point is that you start small an tune to your expectations. Different bikes but data may be of some small help??

Good luck
