[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 697214, member: 3460"] I haven't lowered mine but have read about others who have. I also have put a 2x4 under my center stand (same effect as lowering the bike) to add rear tire clearance when pulling the back wheel and can tell you it is much more difficult getting the bike up. Some have cut a length out of their center stands. Also, if you lower the bike, the side stand will be too long and, again, some have re-engineered it. Footpeg feelers and other hard parts will drag sooner when you've got it heeled well over. I believe some other steering geometry is affected. A lot of trade offs, but many have gone that route (lowering) and are satisfied. I think if the stock FJR were too tall for me, I'd find a bike built lower in stock form. [/QUOTE]
