Default My R1

Just picked up this 07 at start of summer with just over 5000 miles on it. Like almost everything about it so far. Have rode cbr 600rr and x-1 lightning in the past. Different class, different bike for sure. Not many mods yet. Have Flush mounts on front with integrated rear led (not installed yet). Complete shogun slider kit. Bit to late already kissed the right side very lightly once. ooops No major damage just battle scars on the plastic but not bad at all. Just laid it over didnt slide or anything. Also fender eliminator. New michelins installed about 100 miles ago and had the suspension tweaked for someone of my stature by Action Motor Sports. By no means dialed in just in the ballpark. I have not looked into mods for perfomance at this point because frankly I am not at that stage with this bike yet. I have a very long way to go before performance will be an issue with this bike even in its stock form. I would like to lower the bike. I realize this will affect handling but a risk I am willing to take. Any ideas on the best products for lowering the R1. Have a great day and look forward to hearing responses.
