Lowering kits for Triumph 800XC

[jay4fun]

Me again! I like my Tiger which I bought only 2 months back but did not ride much. Reason is that I used to have 2 HD's before and loved to sit IN the bike, however, the engine heat was unbearable for me. But this is the reason why I do not like the height of my Tiger, even though I nearly can stand flat at the low seat adjustment I look for a possible n possibility to reduce the height more, preferably between 3 and 5 cm. There is the factory lowering kit of course but I wonder if I can do something else, saw a rear suspension lowering kit on eBay. I am not a tech, have no clue what I can do, surely someone can give me good advice. I have this bike for sale but keep it if I can get that seat lower w without paying a fortune! Thanks guys

Before messing with the suspension set up i would look at the cheapest and most practical solution of simply having you seat modified

Bsacbob, this is a friend recommended but I wonder if this would lead to a substantial red i action of height! Any recommendation who might be able to tell me here in Chiang Mai?

This is a 50mm option, which is in the range you are looking for: https://www.touratech.co.th/webshop...arch_brand=8&search_model=123&search_type=839



If you have money to burn Touratech also sell a low comfort seat: https://www.touratech.co.th/webshop...arch_brand=8&search_model=123&search_type=844



This however only lowers the rider 20mm.

That spring set looks like an elegant and not too expensive option as long as the description matches reality hahaha. Thank you very much Craig

I've bought from Touratech here in Thailand and they are an OK company to deal with.
