Lowering does change the steering geometry of the bike though. It is amazing how little needs to change to make a big difference in how a bike turns in or corners. Lowering it makes it less responsive to imput. To keep the steering geometry the same you have to lower the forks too. Look at the top of your forks. Are the caps even with the top of the triple clamp? That is the stock position. If the caps are above the top then the forks have been "lowered". Meaning the triple clamp has been lowered ( Fork tubes slide furtherup throughthetripleclamp). If you are tall and have a 32" inseam then I would raise it up. I have a 32" inseam and sit the bike well. Raising it back up is easy to do. Measure the distance between the centerline of the holes in the stock dog bones. Then adjust the soupy dog bones to get the same distance from bolt centerline to bolt centerline. I'd take the current measurement and record it prior to moving anything in case you want to put it back to as found.
