Lowering the front end will tend to reduce the amount of trail you have, but it will also reduce the ground clearance and greatly increase the chances of crashing so its not that good an idea really. To improve handling on any bike with 1960s type geometry, steepening the steering angle by around 2.5 degrees will work very well indeed, and transform the slow sluggish steering provided by chopper type geometry.
