Here is an album of the bike reassembled, torqued down, test ridden, etc.
I feel like this mod significantly lowered my front end appearance-wise, but riding still feels comfortable (actually, I'd say significantly improved, though that is probably a biased statement due to the fact that I can E-brake now without bottoming out my front forks!)
Here is an imgur album of the completed bike.

Those who have performed this, did you notice your front end looking a little lower? I know the front forks are a tad bit shorter, and I set them 6mm lower in the triple as per recommendations here.
Any other comments or things to watch out for? Also - the instructions I've read state that my rebound damping should have 10 clicks... Mine only has 5? I'm not positive of the year these forks came from, but they are fresh from Yamaha with new oil and seals. Any ideas on that?
