I dropped the front front end on the forks to -20mm to match my -20mm Hagon Shocks in there rear.

Is this too much? What is the max you should drop the front end?

You have not "dropped" your front end.
what you have done is lowered your bike 20mm. The geometery is the same.
Your OK from a geometery standpoint..
Bonnie 1000th and Sweatmachine correctly point out possable clearence issues.

Sorry Clint, but he is not Ok.
He can lower 10 mm safe.
Lowering 20 mm creates a potential risk that under heavy braking the rectifier will hit the fender.
One of my friends had that problem.

or the horn could hit the fender. I relocated mine under the gas tank for that very reason. I had stock rear shocks and -10mm front. I found that anything over 10mm with stock rear shocks was too low.

That would be some hard breaking.
No need to be sorry. if your right your right.
And
Your right of course. The rectifier and horn could hit the fender.
(all that matters is that the guy gets the the straight dope)

I was thinking only in terms of the geometery issues. I focused in on that.
Probably because of "dropped" VS "lowered"

Thanks for the save.

The rectifier and horn could be relocated but.
(I went out and took a look.)

The horn in the stock position only sticks out from the cradle by 3/4" or so.
If the horn is an issue, then, could the cradle come into play then?

I had a bigger aftermarket horn (Fiamm Roadblaster) and it stuck out farther.

I should have known. Everything is bigger in Texas.

i'm glad you and carlos (bonnie1000th) caught my mistake.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the horn had already been moved to under the gas tank.

Is it ok if the horn has been relocated?

I answered your question in my previous post.
If you want to lower the front end more than 10 mm , you will need to relocate the rectifier as well.
