675 Anyone fitted a lowering kit?

I had the Lust Racing fitted to my Speed Triple. Done the job for me (5'8/29"). can recommend them although you will need to lower the forks in the clamp a tad to level the bike.

 

The missus has one of soupys on her street, the forks were dropped as well. 3 years now and no complaints.Didnt need to remove exhaust, or any other hassle, did use an ABBA stand tho.

Hi have you thought about having your seat reduced a bit first,it could save you a lot of messing. Especially at the edges where your thigh touches

I had to alter the seat on my sprint and I am now much more confident when stopping .

bill- had no probs with Lust so may just be the tim of year. These are what my dealer would have ordered anyway so just did it myself. Also, the bike may be a little more vertical when on the stand so be aware of this as well. you can buy a adjustable stand (i think soupys do them) but i didn't bother with that-just be careful!

 

Maybe a bit less technical but have you tried a pair of these?

 

I did my 61 plate R last night with the Lust racing links with the help of my Dad. It appears at first the exhaust must come off but it's really not necessary. We used an Abba stand and occasionally had one of us give the rear wheel a lift to position everything correctly.

Are you having a problem getting your foot to the side stand??

 

Do you have any problem putting up the center stand once you have lowered the back. If you do what have you down to help kick it up as its hard enough at normal level?

 

sox-what littleade said-its not a problem with a side stand - when the bike is vertical it kicks down and back up as normal even in high heeled glitter boots its just the bike will stand a little more vertical once you have deployed it. Mines been done 3yrs and its not been an issue but just check for yours once you've done it! if you need an option, soups adjustable stand or try and second hand stand with a bit of modification etc. good luck

 

My Street Triple is lowered and I am always worried about it falling over so I modified my side stand today. Its made of solid aluminium and can be drilled and tapped ok.

 

That ebay site , is there one for sprints as I can't see it, maybe i'll message them

 

merry xmas anyways

 

If you only want to drop it say 15mm this can be done just by loosening then re tightening all the suspension bolts. they are built with the bike suspended so all you do is take up the tolerances in the opposite direction. Then drop the forks through about 5-10mm you should be able to do this without problems with the side stand. 15mm can make a big difference to some folks.

 

My 2006 Tiger was feeling a little too tall for my liking so I dropped front forks through the clamps 10mm and it made all the difference. Only took 30 mins to do and cost NOTHING !!

I have no issues with the bike at all now.
