Help with lowering

[bsaboy]

Hi I have a 2019 xt .

I want to lower it a little 25mm ish .There are lots of kits for the earlier models but few kits for the 2019 model.Do you blokes in the know have the knowledge to tell me if the earlier ones will fit the 2019 bike? There is a big jump in price for the few that are advertised as fitting my model.

cheers in advance.

Does your XT have any options to lower the seat ..? Also, you could raise the forks in the yokes to lower the front. 

These options are free ..

Hi bsaboy, cosmo do lowering links for that bike cause I bought that Centre stand and a set of links at the same time.I thought I’d given you them I’ll have a scout around and if I can find them I’ll post them to you  free gratis for nowt zero regards rorymagory

Hi forgot to mention these links only drop it by 20mm also drop forks 10mm and your there. For the same price they do 30mm which I thought was too much.the lower you drop it the harder it is to get it on the Centre stand. (Still looking for them).   Rory

Hi well I’ve found the links so they’ll be winging there way down to Brinscal tomorrow. My latest bike is what the real men of England are either riding or dreaming of,is a BMW r1200rt and I got the standard seat lowered and what a difference it’s made. The last vstrom I had came with standard and lowered seats  and the lowered is the best but not cheapest way to go.   Rorymagory

Hi Chris, did you get the links.they should have been delivered on Tuesday. Regards rory

Hi Roy ,yes thanks got the links and already fitted them.They make a big difference to the height , riding tommox to test them out.

I dropped the front 20mm but it seemed too low so I've moved it to 10mm and see how we get on.
