Hello blokes,
I recently picked up a 2010 Vstrom 1000. Its great so far but I definitely need it lowered and not sure which is the best way to go about it.
I see options for using a 650 seat and also about cutting or removing the rubber pads under the seat.
My insean is a short 29" . I also find the damn foot pegs really get in the way when I try get my foot down.
I don't know why but I'm convinced removing the rubber pads under the seat isn't a good idea as in my mind they are to stop vibration. Maybe I'm just crazy? ....
The 650 seat is an option, I'm going to drop over to the dealer I bought it from as he has a 650 there so I will borrow the seat and see what its like.
As for the lowering links, I'm looking at these.
http://www.lustracing.co.uk/suspension/ ... -kits.htmlThe 40mm combined with the 650 seat to me sounds like a lot but also sounds great. Would I then need to drop the front forks 40mm?
I don't do any offroad driving so no issue there with ground clearence. I know if I drop it this much the centre stand will be a pain to use so can be removed or modified if needed.
Any thoughts on this lads?
