Has anybody used lowering links and put the tubes higher in the triple clamp to achieve a 2 inch lower seat height. Replaced both hips and not able to tiptoe ride anymore. Can't afford to fall but don't want to stop riding. Thanks.
Hello AK VET, Arkansas or the one with a barrel?
I have a set of lowering links, but for now I have decided to first try a lower seat. (Yamaha seat) Hopefully I'll be riding very soon and try out my lower seat. I'm just recovering from a small surgery. The lower seat is supposed to get your feet closer to the ground by 30 mm or 1 1-/4 inches. Hmmmm..I've sat on the lower seat and I feel it lowers your feet by only 1/2 inches maximum.
There is some very good information on this forum about installing lowering links.
There's fixed links and adjustable links. Two inches is a large adjustment in my books.
So, if you do get some lowering links installed, with a two inch drop....here's what to expect: changes to the side stand, the centre stand, and the front forks to retain the handing dynamics of the bike. It's all doable but must be done properly.
I'm sure that we are going to hear from other forum members who will chime in.
