as far as the rear, lowering it more than 1.5-2" is not recommended. rear tire can start hitting the under fender liner and eat through it ripping out electrical wires when it does and rendering the bike dead in it's tracks.
Hey thanks Kelly.
So 1" should be enough? What If I lowered the rear by 3", don't I have to lower the front at least 3" as well? What do you think Kelly?

For the rear, since I have the fender eliminator, would it still be fine lowering it 3"? I just want the bike to sit low nicely (not just because I am a short rider) but because I like the looks with a low riding drop. I am aware that it'll affect my handling.

I want to know what kind of clip-ons and what kind of lowering links will work best.
