actually, last i knew john hasnt even been to a trackday. a lowered 600 with a 215lb rider is gonna sag pretty far compared to stock. much of any lean angle is gonna scrape the plastic/pegs. Plus being the same height as chad, i know what it's like to ride a bike that's too small, it gets real uncomfortable, real quick. Lowering should only be done for shows,short people, and drag racing. These bikes are built to be twisty machines, why would anyone want to change that??
