Personally , I kept teh front and rear changes the same. As for teh center stand, lowering the bike WILL affect its use. I am a small old guy and have not been able to use a centerstand on a bike for 15 yrs Just not strong enough, I use front and rear stands altered a bit to make lifting easier... There are many other ways to do the various things you need to do.. One is a very small Kickstand-like item that fits the spool on the rite rear to make lubing chain easier while traveling. I dont know the name but it uses teh bike tilted slightly onto the sidestand and this mini stand placed under the rite side spool. It lifts the rear wheel enough to clear the ground and when folded and placed in carry bag is about 8 inches long and 1 inch wide IIRC.
I guess you might be able to shorten the centerstand an amount to equal however much you lower the bike which would make it easier to use , maybe . Never attempted it myself.
Ok Found the PackJack..pretty cool little item for under 50 bucks..
