Do the lowering kits affect the way it rides? especially if you have a passenger? I dont want it to be a rough rider

Yeah, I wouldn't. Maybe better shocks, lowering will eat away your lean angle... though it depends how you ride. You might not miss it.

If the bike has not been tuned, get a tuner... along with the high-flow filter.

I'd do any power-adders at once... if you're considering a big-bore, cams, anything... I'd do it all at once, get it tuned, be done with it. But in any case your bike needs to be tuned if it has never had one. I'd also go with a good 2>1.

Dealer or indy shop. Indy is often better...

Is it EFI or corroborated?

Either way you could funble with it yourself, but getting on a dyno tuner is really the best. I'd poke around your area and try and findout who is good.
