I initially had the bike lowered about 2.5 inches and HATED it. The handling was awful and the suspension was very bouncy. I did not want too fool with lowering the front end as I only wanted to temporarily lower the bike while I gained confidence.

The lowering links I purchased were adjustable so I re-adjusted them so that the bike would only sit 1 inch lower. I purchased some riding boots that gave me about a 1.5inch lift and I'm good to go now. My husband is supposed to be slowly adjusting the suspension without telling me so that I'm eventually back up to stock height.
