Default lowered the 954

Well i lowered it this past weekend and put the 200 series tire on it and love it. We are going to make a custom pipe so that's why there's no can on it right now. As for the paint I'm going to go a rub atone black and my friend runs sticker shop, hes going to match the stickers off my helmet and blow them up to fit the bike. Other than that I'm going to do a power commander, steering dampner, put stock mirrors back on it and powder coat the swing arm black.

No reason for the lowering, i just like the look of it and well i do tend to race quit often. Im in Joplin Mo. and every badass car around here happens to be owned by old people that think their cars are badass so i show them up for the fun of it. Cops dont care about bikes here they have bigger crap goin on so they just waive.

I can understand doing some custom cosmetics to make your ride look nice, but to lower your bike (which directly effects it's handling characteristics) just because you think it looks cool is just retarded! Did you find out how this would effect the handling of the bike to see if it was really something you wanted to do first? Or did you just say**in my best squid voice** that looks bling yo I gotsta slam my fat ride like that!
