I think what BombFactory is trying to convey is that you have changed suspension geometry greatly by lowering the front. This can cause the symptoms he noted, especially on rough roads or emergency executions of manuevers that could cause the symptoms to rear their ugly head. Saving a bike from a problem is one thing when its properly set up, now changing it could drastically effect recovery.

Also comparing another bike to ours won't work. The Buell chassis is completely different, hence its need for the different rake. The chassis and suspension geometry all comes into play on keeping a bike stable.
