Lowering My Bike
I've decided to have my bike lowered. Just and Inch so I have a bit more foot on the ground.
Is this gonna change the ride of the bike at all?
I don't want to do it and regret it..
Also is there an adjustment for tightening up the mirrors??

If you lower it correctly, the ride should not change.
The bikes geometry will change a little and the pegs will be closer to the ground, but unless you have a lot of track experience, you won't notice anything different.
Being able to touch the ground and enjoying your ride is the most important thing.
I'll put a PM into Yumoncbr to chime it. She is very accustomed to lowered bikes and can bring firsthand experience to the conversation.

Hello, I have cbr600rr and gsxr750 and both are lowered to the max because of my midgetness. If it is just an inch, you can lower the rear only and not touch the front. You can use the lowering link by Soupy's Soupys Performance, Motorcycle Lowering Kits, Motorcycle Raising Links and you can easily bring it up to normal height if you don't like it,
As far as handling of the bike, I don't ride hard like most guys. So I did not have any problem so far. Only thing that is annoying is I will scrape the bottom going through the speed bump.
Also have the bike's suspension adjusted to your own weight.
Hope this helps Cheers!!
