Just got an 11/2" lowering rocker arm and installed it in about 4 hours using a really cheap bearing presser(don't by cheap, trust me) any way it feels much better and i have more feet on the ground. I thought I would have to shorten the side stand but it's ok just the way it is. I also lowered the triple clamp and put 1" genmar risers on her so front and back are both lower and the bars are much better being a bit higher. While I have some time off I also installed a power outlet for my gps etc... If anyone needs info on where to get a lowering rocker arm I'll be glad to help out since they are hard to find.
