Default Lowering kits for the V-Strom?
I really like the 1000cc V-Strom but at 5'10" w/ 32" inseam I'm just on my tiptoes at a stop which makes me a bit uncomfortable on it. I know with an andveture tourer clearance height is important but if it was 2" lower It would fit me much better.

Is there a kit available to do this? If so what do they run and do they adversly effect the handling? Is this something worth considering?
Thanks!
