Default Dropping and bar risers??

Just by sitting on my bike with all the new little goodies on it....the rear end needs to come down a bit. How much is a bit?? At least 2 inches. Obviously bar risers are gonna get put on. How much on the risers? Is there only one inch options? I have pro taper cr-hi bars. I like them! What I'm really asking is...when I sit on my bike at a stop, I want to drastically shift the weight towards the back! This bike already has front end dips when you walk on the front brake. I weigh 185. I need some suggestions from you guys....on how to transfer that power to weight ratio to the tail end.?? I also got a Sargent seat(totally *******) IMS pro pegs...it feels different now. I also noticed a big difference without those factory Mickey Mouse mirrors. The bike is just TOO front end washy! It's way too level. Just need some opinions from some experienced people. Can I change this????

It's gonna sit in my basement for a few months. I basically tricked it out. But....I need to lower that back end hard core! ??????? Kouba link? Ya...how much?? Preload?? I set my suspension according to all these posts on here. For my weight and mostly street riding, I think I have the suspension set up to where I need it.??????? Suggestions????

I cured the front end dip on mine with some heavier springs in the forks. MotoPro .44kg springs for me. Go to their website and use the calculator to figure out what springs will work for your weight and riding style.

Will do! I did order Zeta bar risers. Still thinking about lowering the rear end. I don't think so. Maybe when the bar risers show up, I'll think differently. Take it from there I guess.

Got my Zeta risers, 30mm!! Perfect!! I'm up higher in the front, and I'm further back on my bomb @ss Sargent seat! Super comfy...! More relaxed riding stance now. That was a quick easy fix! 40.00...small price to pay

Did you have any issues with cable lengths fitting the risers. What part numbers for the Zeta risers?
