Don't lower & stretch it if you ever plan to turn corners.
A friend of mine got a similar deal on a 06 GSXR 1000 that had been lowered and stretched. (I think he payed $3k for it) And I rode it to the garage for him to remove those mods.. Scariest ride of my life.
That thing handled like poop. And that's being nice. Once we got it back to stock it was fine, but with a stretch, lowering links, and forks raised in the triple.. I wouldn't ride it ANYWHERE but to the garage to remove the retardedness.
Sure it would go straight, but if you are afraid to lean the bike over, get a car (or a Harley trike if you have to).
*exceptions are allowed for bikes that are solely for drag racing or drifting, then it isn't a bike anymore, but rather a tool for a job.
