All depends on what you are going too do. Lowering a bike like these well lower the performance for handling and lowering the center of gravity. I prefer not to do that if u are concerned Baysideperformance.com . I am also short legged tip of toes barely get too the ground LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I well not do that, i am realy into these bikes with all the power commander stuff after market exhaust and air and plugs,rear sets, brakes ,pads u name its on it......
