RE: 2" Under Stock Fork Tubes.
It will lower it about 1.5" in front. Do be careful if you do lower the bike. You will scrape pretty easy lowered that much on turns and over obstacles, especially if you got alot of bumps,potholes and other road irregularities in your area. In know on the east coast, road conditions are brutal.
I lowered my bike a bit by going to an 18x3.5" front rim with a 130/70-18 tire. Stock diameter MH/90-21" tire is about 27" My new tire setup is about 25", so I ended up lowering the bike about an inch. I picked up a set of Progressive 413 rear adjustable height shocks and also lowered the rear about an inch to level the bike off without hurting handling or killing ride comfort. Worked out very well. But a 1" drop is all I would dare to do in my area. More than 1" and you have to be REAL CAREFUL.
