Good news/bad news.....
I lowered my TT600R which i think was quite a bit higher to start with, but now sits at about 840mm.
Nobody i could find makes a lowering link.
I had a suspension specialist lower and rebuild my suspension. Theres a guy down your way called "Dr.Shox" who is supposed to be really good and charges about £200.
I also had my seat widened and lowered by motorcycleseatworks in Bradford.
For an idea of a TT600R on an overland trip, check out my blog at

There are also a couple of 5min video montages posted on there from SE Asia and Pakistan (note, i didnt lower my bike until id returned from this trip, but wish id done it before)
TT600R is IMO one excellent touring/trail bike, but a bit of a handful for shorties. Now ive had mine shortened i can ride most stuff up to tricky muddy/steep/rocky with relative confidence. Weights the only issue. Im personally considering downsizing to a TTR250 or Honda XR400 for the future, but im planning on much more trails and dirt for future trips
