Craig, lowering front suspension should "level" the geometry of the bike and restore the bikes "normal" handling if you only lowered the rear, but the real question is...what are you trying to "improve"? Is the Mz okay with the height...if not, the 1" would probably help, BUT when she goes on or off highway ramps in deep turns, is she dragging hard parts?...it may not be a good idea...at least not yet!
I know when I lowered my bike, I had to shave the rubber bumper for the jiffy stand 1/8" which gave me another 3/4" tucked in at the "business end" of the stand dragging on the left, and also had to change the mounting hardware of my exhaust pipes on the right to stop "grinding" the fastener hardware. Check when she gets on the bike, the suspension only sacks down 1 to 1 1/2" so there is some rebound dampening (control when the suspension unloads), if too much sack, crank up the preload one notch and try again, you will use a nylon zip ty wrapped on the front fork to check the sack on the front slider, again, if it is more than 1 1/2" you may want to change the fluid and level FIRST, (change the phillips head drain screws w/ allens) and if it still not to her likeing, THEN go with the new springs.
Also, did you install an EZ Clutch actuator or equivalent, replacing the ball/ramp assy to make clutch effort 30% less, all the levers and controls "reach" or fit easier? Generally major suspension changes are done last due to the expense, effort and to avoid the "side effects" that are created during the lowering process. Oh yeah, I read in another thread that she had a slight wobble at speed, check the front tire pressures and wear pattern and keep in mind of the suspension changes that there may be an improvement in the high speed stability as well, add a fork brace last...after you have things sorted to avoid "masking" any symptoms. JMHO :14:
