klr lowering links

I just installed some lowering links on My 06 KLR 650, it dropped the
bike down by approx 1.5 inches. I definately feel more secure now when
sitting on the bike. I also adjusted the front forks by the same amount
and shortened the kick stand. The bike definately felt different when I
initially rode it but after a bit I got used to it and being flat
footed now is really nice. I was just wondering how many of you have
lowered your bikes and what the pros and cons are of doing this.
Preload changes? Cheers from the flatlands of Saskatchewan.

Carlos,
Clymer's say 29 foot pounds. The factory basic manual says 31 foot
pounds.
