+1, Pax. My 650 got shorty shocks put on it so I could flat-foot it, lowering the rear 2". Front went about 1/4" up through the tripletrees, which makes it super stable on straightaways and a little slow to corner, but that's ok. I'm no rocketeer. Changing out my fork springs was actually the greatest handling improvement.

X's harley got shorty shocks and I think we lowered the front, too, but I don't remember offhand.
