UpArrrow Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'd like to bring the rear down an inch or so. How can this be done? As an aside, it's going in for the recall shaft replacement within a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'll look into this one. They have used pics for the 1200x but list that bike separately. $255 for link & stand may be a palatable solution.

LookingHard Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 UpArrow, On the off chance that you are not aware of it, if you install lowering links, it might be harder to use the centerstand, depending on the amount of lowering of course.

LookingHard Yeah. Not looking to drop it more than about 1". Center stand would be tougher but doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srdjan Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Consider OEM Lower narrow seatSent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leery of spending $200 for the try. That said, my bike came to me with a heated Corbin on it which I suspect is quite a bit taller than the OEM low narrow.

srdjan Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have bought Top Sellerie dual gel seat. It is very comfortable but it is more width and taller as well, less sporty movements on bike. I am going back to OEM for sure. Those are FAQs on my bike. And I am 187cm tall :)Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloryracing Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Low seat and run a 190/50 instead of the 55. I suspect that would get you over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srdjan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Don't 190/50, it will have negative influence as on almost every bikeSent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
