transalp suspension seat height reduction
 

hi folks i ride a honda transalp 650 it is 2 years old and i love it
one problem i have with it is i am slightly short in the leg department so am looking to alter the rear suspension
i need to get a longer or shorter linkage whichever is the correct one to make the seat height lower does anyone know if ;-
A they make such a part to make it lower
B where can i get one
i am in the uk so suitably in the uk but failing that where else i could get one
i have also considered having the seat altered but fear that this might make the ride quite uncomfortable over longer distances
many thanks if any one can offer me some help

Not sure of any components to reduce the rear suspension, you could reduce the rear preload a bit, to allow more the rear to sag a bit more (as long as you don't carry too much weight.
You could also raise the forks so the fork caps show through the yolks 1/2" or more would help.

You mention reshaping the seat, did you know a that there is a low seat option from Honda for the 650?

Just some thoughts, hope that this helps.

Hyper Pro do a complete front and rear kit to lower the Transalp by 30mm.
Hope this helps.
