I dropeed mine an inch by going to a 17" rim. What a huge difference in handling. Much lighter.

I dropped my '99 885 efi by 17mm about four years ago and haven't gone back ever! It made the steering just so neutral and natural - simply seems the way it should have been.
Great on track days too!
Made no difference when I changed from Tourances to BT020 road tyres.
By the way mine has Hagon front springs and Ohlins rear shock.
Most of my riding is two-up and that wasn't affect by the change either.
You may need to raise your headlight beam to compensate and that's a pain of a job!
