lowering the front end

[scotilac]

is it possible to lower the front end of the bike? if it is, how do you ho about doing it? is it easy? what would be the good and bad about doing it?
I want to do it because it think it would make the front end look a little better!!!

It'll change your geometry so any alteration should be done with great care...and reluctance, unless experienced.  Lowering the front will sharpen up your steering, which does a whole world of things.  Easiest way is to raise the forks in the triples.

being new to this, what does raise the forks into the triples meen?

You loosen the triple  clamps up and slide the fork tubes up towards the handlebars. Then tighten the clamps back up ( making sure  everything is even and lined up correctly). You're limited by th forks unless you get bar risers or change to clip ons or something. Make sure you don't take it too far that you interfere with fork travel. 

Lower the rear similarly to keep the geometry close.
