Lowering info and experience please guys.

Well I finally picked up the bike yesterday and after what is possibly the longest ever transaction in the history of bike sales (at least an hour) and I was riding home on my new bike.

I love it, great to ride and loads of fun in the country lanes, I think I need to get into cruising a bit more as the buffeting was quite bad but then I was doing 85mph and realised I should slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery, my last bike was an R1 and everything was done in a rush....

Anyway, I'm only 5'7 and need to lower it a bit, I've only just got my tip toes on the floor so it needs to be done.

How low should I go ? I hear that when you add the lowering bones it increases the leverage on the suspension and it can go down more than you want it to.

I was thinking 50mm ? anyone dropped it by 50 and how did it go ?

I will be dropping the front too to keep the balance.

any help welcome guys and thanks in advance...
