When you lower the front you change the rake angle and the whole geometry of a bike a group of extremely highly paid engineers and racers designed. why! If your gonna lower it, do NOT complain about performance of handling, cause it just wasnt designed with that in mind. To offer something useful to this post though have him get his suspension tuned by someone who knows suspension (specifically road bike).

Well I've talked to 5 or 6 guys with dropped and stretched bikes and they havent heard of this before. It seems like we're the only people this has happened to.
whoa! watch out guys, this guy can drag pegs AND fairing on a slammed bike! jfwy When you lower the front you change the rake angle and the whole geometry of a bike a group of extremely highly paid engineers and racers designed. why!
