The stroke means you are bound to feel vulnerable in many, many ways but you will learn to cope. You will adjust, you just need to persevere. I lowered an MV Turismo Veloce to go to Europe. Thought it would boost my confidence parking etc. It made no difference in that regard but it did alter the bike's feeling and function, ruined it for me. Lowering you 848 will change it and you have enough change going on at the moment. Only time and familiarity will make you feel less vulnerable. I have seen much smaller people than myself do amazing things on tall bikes and I'm guessing pre stroke you were the same. Don't panic, what's the worst that can happen? You could drop it at low speed. You might break a lever, scratch a fairing. Repairing them won't cost the money you are talking about. Fit some crash bungs and relax a little. It will come. Good luck and let us know how you go on.
