Our roads are alright I guess. I have seen better, but also much worse. Never have had any problem at stock height. I appreciate the feedback. I sit around 170 lbs, so I doubt I'll have any issues. I carry passengers very rarely, so that shouldn't effect things much. I suppose it's worth a shot. I have been running 1" up in the rear and .5 down in the nose, the handling is phenominal, but I am ready for a change, and think that leveling it out might take the pressure back off my wrists for the long rides.
