I believe they lowered the front…not 100% positive on that simply because my scope of experience with motorcycle modification was limited at that time (and frankly my level of complication stops at doing an oil change and removing my fairings). As for handling, have never been able to ride anything else safely enough to compare, so for all I know, it handles like a Kia, but to me it feels like a Maserati. But, I can say that a couple of other biker friends have ridden my bike, and they say it still handles wonderfully despite being lowered. Also (while I’m ranting…) I sat on a gixxer the other day that had been lowered 3 inches in the back and 4 in the front… didn’t ask how they did it though.. so who knows.
