I haven't lowered my 675, but conventional suspension wisdom would say that in order to keep the geometry similar to stock, you would need to push the forks up through the triple tree so more sticks out through the top. How much, I'm not sure. I would recommend going somewhere that they have a GMD Computrack machine so a professional can measure the current geometry, compare it to stock and then make adjustments to bring it more in line with the stock numbers or to optimize it for your riding style.
I would think that lowering the rear without lowering the front would create some really strange handling issues.
As far as the kickstand goes, see if you can buy one off ebay, cut out a section in the middle and tig weld it back together. Then file down the weld to smooth it out and make it look better. If you do it this way, you would be able to keep the foot area at the bottom of the kick stand, which is important when parking the bike on asphalt so that it doesn't sink and fall over.
