would lowering the bike help with it being top heavy?

[sidwin]

This is by far the most top heavy bike i've ever own/ridden. What can we do to help with it? I thought about lowering the seat, lowering the bike but was going to ask...

thanks,

Lowering yourself into the bike will help the best way to help with it being top heavy - get a lowered seat - other than that, you get used to the top heavy feeling.

Yes it WILL lower the center of gravity.

lowering yourself in the seat is the best bet, technically of course lowering the bike (or yourself) will lower the center of gravity, but in anything but low speed manuevering the center of gravity doesn't matter since the vertical plane of the bike is leaned over to match centrifugal forces....

I had mine lowered for quite a while, it only helped when it came to denting the exhaust underneath the motor or hitting the sides of my boots in the twisties....
