I have fitted these to my DL1000 from lust racing doesn't effect handling but have more confidence when you get both feet on the ground

I have fitted 40mm Lust Racing lowering kit to my Tigger,, brilliant !!   :thumb: also dropped my front forks through 19mm .. the Tigger is now planted and the combined drop in height has made a massive difference to my ability to control the bike when I'm stopped , parking or in slow motion

Did you blokes need to 'adjust' the side and/or centre stand after lowering?

I've not adjusted my side stand I have put up with it just being very careful where I park.

My Tiger doesn't have a centre stand and I have been advised that I could not now fit a standard one as I would not be able to get the bike on to it.. So, I will probably get the side stand adjusted in the near future. I know a man who can and at the same time I will have the foot made bigger
