I don't know about you but, if i ever lowered my bike im sure i would bottom out on speed bumps, and begin to have clearance issues when cornering hard, i'm already scraping my stock foot pegs and lowering it an inch may mean scraping the stator cover or the clutch cover.

You also change certain measurements u may not be aware of like trail, and rake angle, which ultimately will affect your ride.

Can you one foot your bike? if u can thats fine. If you want to lower it, then i'ld do what everyone else suggests, shaving the seat.
