There's no cheap way to do it. If you lower your bike, you're gonna need wider tires to compensate for the lower frame to be banked without hitting the pipes etc.. I've had great results with my combination, you can see it on my url. It's been dropped 4" and it handles like a high performance pillow. Corners are as good on my bike as any stocker is, maybe even better.

i know absolutely nothing about v2k's so im going to assume then that you have a wider rear tire with your 4" drop? 
I've got a 260/40R18 in the back, and a 200/60R16 in the front. Check out my url below, and open all the pages and there are enough pics there to give you an idea as to what I've done.i know absolutely nothing about v2k's so im going to assume then that you have a wider rear tire with your 4" drop?
I lowered my bike Removing the link and extending it 20mm cost a couple of bucks and looks exactly the same as any other lowered Custom...and it rides Great but does touch down on the twisties but thats alright lets me know how far to push it :-D that reminds me to say thanks Jay for the heads up on that Mod advice
and your bike is to for words:biggrin:
and your bike is

could you explain how you did that?
It Involves removeing the tierod...cutting it then welding 20mm extension bits.No more than 20mm,that will give you about a 3 Inch drop.the shorter the extension bits will determine the Height of the rear.
this way of lowering your bike isnt for everyone.as its non ajustable
I was,nt prepared to spend the $ just to lower my bike and doing this mod was easy for me...I suppose if you removed the tierod you could get a proffessional to weld it up..remember if you are going to do this your self you NEED to Know How to WELD
