lowering KTM?

Anyone knoe if there are any lowering links or kits available for the KTM 640LC4 or Adventure R? I'm not having any luck locally or on the web. If any d/s could benefit from these it would be these. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Steve,
I haven't had much luck finding any info either - though you may want to try calling White Brothers or AMP research to see if they can help you out.

You may want to also investigate having a custom saddle made with a lower seat height if you don't have much luck with finding suspension linkage. The KTM saddle is already pretty lean so there won't be much room for lowering if I remember correctly though.

Best of luck,
Wright

As a wild guess, and I don't know if this would work, but the Duke or Supermoto KTMs may well be lower. So if lowering is a matter of fitting a different link in the rear suspension and moving the forks a bit higher in the clamps, then all you might need is a link from one of the above two. Also, I believe the old LC4 400/620EGS was available in lower seat form, another possibility to investigate.
