If you lower the bike you're going to kill its ability to go around corners, unless that doesn't matter.

Got some pics of one that's slammed. The guy replaced the rear shocks with struts and lowered the front end. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

I lowered my 09 a year ago, I did 1" lower progressive springs in the tubes, and 1" lower progressives in the rear. I did it because I'm short. I had my seat reworked to make it about a half inch lower also.
I have never had a problem with cornering. I'm not an overly agressive rider.
I haven't been able to rub the pegs, however the kickstand rubs on some speed bumps when riding two up.
You will need to adjust the kickstand, but that's not a big deal if you have access to a torch.
Visually you won't notice much of a difference.

I was supplied the wrong set of Hagon Classic shocks for my T100 once that as it worked out were actually for an American so it made it sit 1 inch lower. It looked good and the clearance did not seem to be affected but unfortunately the spring rate was 30kg instead of 20 so after nearly going over the bars a couple of times I had the correct ones supplied. With the correct ones now fitted and seeing how it looked again back at standard height I am seriously thinking of lowering them. I am 6' and I didn't find it uncomfortable either.
