These are the links I ordered. Lowers the rear about 1 inch. Raised the fork tubes by 1 inch also and the bike handles better afterwards. I'm 5' 6" with 28" inseam. I also had 1 inch cut out of the side stand, welded and refinished. Will install a center stand next but will keep the standard height as I like the extra clearance provided. I have had standard center stands on three other tall bikes that had been lowered and it never was a problem lifting them to position

I would of expected the lowering link supplier to suggest you only lower the front forks (along the longitudinal axis of the fork) by 3/4" compared to the 1" lowering at the rear. This way you are trying to preserve the stock trail and the bikes handling characteristics. If you find it reluctant to turn in compared to stock you might try that. From what you say though there is no problem so maybe not so much an impact on that bike?
