I lowered my Fazer..... you simply gotta do something about that side-stand, or it's gonna get blown over and/or you won't be able to park it in some situations. It's a bit of a gamble, but reducing it by about a half inch might be enough..... or not.
The center-stand is not a problem..... pulling your bike UP ONTO THE CENTER-STAND might be a bit of a struggle though.
It's a given that lowering the bike will reduce clearances you had prior. But if you set your suspension up correctly, it shouldn't be too much of a problem unless you're a road racer. I actually touched down quite often on the Fazer before addressing the suspension. I was heavy, and the suspension soft. I spent over $800.00 for new springs front and rear, had the rear shock re-valved, and had the internals lowered an inch. With the improved suspension, even after lowering it..... I have yet to touch any hard parts down (well, there was that long 100 mph sweeper on Monitor Pass.....).
Don't trust that side-stand...... well, the Bonnie actually leans quite a bit on the factory stand as it is though, doesn't it....? If you have any doubt, cut it down a little.
