Any body have any suggestions on how I can lower my '05 955i about one inch without giving up handling? Also, what type of suspension setting are you using for solo rider with a sport touring bent?

Brooksie, After looking at mine, it may be a real PIA to properly lower the rear as I don't think there's any aftermarket support for that modification.

My setup is real close to the standard setting in the manual...I'm 180 lbs.

Thanks Brad. Think I'll go with that and just get used to it. The bike handle so great the way it is, I would hate to change it just to make it easier to sit still on!
