LOWERING KIT FOR ALL BIKES REALLY
GOT NO LEGS THEN THIS IS FOR YOU
IT REALLY DOES MAKE LIFE EASY HAVING THE BIKE LOWER - Авто та транспорт
I owned a 2017 Triumph SE and went back to the 2012 Honda ST1300 and now I am happy again !
both great bikes and as on my channel i've owned both, have to say the pan seems better built and feels more on the road .
did you watch my isle of white trip on here on the triumph , all the way there and back on one tank! ,
but as said both good but does come down to what you like
there is always a problem whem we do the meccanico ☺️✌️🤙 good job
Thanks for the video. I am also a short arse but think I'll stick with the stock.
Thanks for the video. Mark. Just bought a Trophy and like you I am not feet flat so have got a lowering kit. Great to see how it is fitted and the info about the silencer is really useful.
Great bikes bud
Check out my road trip to the Isle of White
The bike was amazing
Plus my full review
Hi Steve/Mark hope you guys are well.Kindly tell me how tall are both of you.I am looking into buying one of these when they become available Thanks.
@@kidronreddy1671 i'm 5.7ish 30in leg and before the lower kit it was a bit too tall, with this kit both feet flat on the floor and felt so much better with no handling problems
check out my isle of wight video, it rode amazing bud

@@kidronreddy1671 Hi Kidron. I’m 5’11” tall with a 29 1/2 inch inside leg. I can now get my feet flat and have no adverse handling effects. Only problem is that I really struggle to get it onto the centre stand. Hope this helps.
Thx ! Great help ! I have a same problem with my 1994 Trophy 4, 1200.
thanks for watching and happy that it helped , I have a few more videos on the trophy you might like to watch
mark
Well done buddy! Great job
Edison Reis thanks for watching
I have a few more videos you might like to watch
Thanks mark
Just subscribed and will watch them all. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Canada
Hi @Mark Savage. Did you find any long term issues with the lowering kit?
Hey Mark.. great video, great commentary... would you also make adjustment on the front forks too?.. or just that rear linkage?
I did just the rear and it was fine but I did have to lower the lights a little that's the only thing , it really did help and made no difference to the handling but a big difference how it helped me
thanks for watching
dzięki za film pomocny masz u mnie browara
Those bikes are monsters.. have you done any videos on the vtec vfr800 ? Once seen your gxer750 video and a bit torn between the two. I have a gsr600 at the mo which i take out fairly regularly for a good blast but don't really feel the need for a 1000cc sport. Any other recommendations please.
Thanks in accordance advance
hi bud thanks for watching
yes I have done a few videos on the gsxr's 600 service and start up and the k5 ride out and the k7 look around
the vfr800 is a different bike bud and only one videos when I had very loud exhausts on it revving lol
I've had a few 800s and a 1200, the 800 is a great all round sports tourier
fast fun and good in the seat so if that's what you what to move off the gsxr's to a bike you can ride all year round its a good bike to get but they do hold there money
still love the Kawasaki's lots of fun but still a sports
best sit on them test ride and make your mind up that way bud
mark
Any problems on the side stand after lowering ? Just about to do my speed triple . Thanks mate good vid👍
Zippy Biddelli no not really bud
Sat ok with no problems
But a bit hard to get on the centre stand
Otherwise all good
Thanks for watching
Hi Mark watched your video on lowering your trophy. Just want to know how tall are you as I want to make a comparison for my height when I get mine!
Cheers
Rob
hi rob I'm 5.8 29/30 leg and after the lower kit as in the video it was much better and with the setting you could still life it up onto another setting
I have many other videos on my channel you also might like to watch
mark
Hi Mark, how has the bike been since you lowered it?..I am thinking of getting a late Trophy to replace my RT and reading your posts on this we are the same height etc but I may go for the 25mm lowering kit. Has your better half found it better to get on and off the bike also?
All round it was great for both of us
Really made a difference and when I was on my own I still could raise it up if needed when I had luggage on
Defo worth doing and great bikes to ride
Check out my trip to the isle of white video on here
Great vid! I have a question: just bought a used trophy se, I think it came with lowering links cause the bike came with spares links. I want raise it what was the measurement of the stock link?
Sorry bud
I don't remember but it was a good inch higher on the seat
But only a little bigger on the links
Have you gotten rid of the R1200GS?
sadly yes, I have to say after my little off at Yarmouth ( video on here) it worries me with the height and I still wanted to tour so I got the trophy and as you see lowered it too
now I feel much better with both feet on the floor and it's still a great tourier with loads of kit on it too
what do you think bud
mark
hi mark just put a kit on mine not flat footed but it helps
that's good to hear bud and hope my video helped , I do have a few more on this bike and many on others you might like to watch
but all it just having a bit more foot on the floor helps a lot
Hey mark i have a problem with My moped that i thought you could please help me with. How Can i contact you?

Here’s one

Thanks for the Vid What is your in seam ?
snakecoils I don’t have one bud sorry to say only UA-cam and have over 400 videos
Never really thought about it
Should I ??
What I meant to say is how Tall are you & what is Your Inseam ) the inseam in a pair of pants from the crotch to the bottom of the leg, or the length of this I'm looking at buying a Triumph 12 Tiger but in only 5' 10" tall with a inseam of 30" the bike my be to tall for me
ha haha , I have to say I looked at that for a while and had to guess what you were talking about
i'm 5.8 and inside leg of 29/30 so these with the lower kit will be great for you as you can still adjust the pre sets and make it higher with luggage and pillion
So did you install the bolts from the other side so you don’t have to remove exhaust again? Or Does it only go in one way?
One way as you can't get it in the other way
Easy job bud
Just added my stock/regular size links because the low ones were not working for me (came with the bike used that way) The stock links I feel changed the steering for the better as well as the center stand operation. So I ended up putting the bolts from the left side keeping the nuts on the right so if I have to switch back I will not have to remove silencer
Super easy though just like you said.
@@thomasmarshall6109 oh well that worked out well then bud, I just fitted from the way It was fitted
Yes the stand was harder lowered
Enjoy bud
Hey Mark, my friend has a 1996 trophy, he is the same height as you and can only get his toes on the ground, we are having trouble finding the kit in Australia, can you please send me a link of where i can it please?? thank you
that's a early one and not sure if they make one for yours , best google search it or contact a company that sell them and ask could they make or do one for you bud
@@marksavage thank you very much for replying.
I lowered mine,but after about 10k riding it I went back,because of handling and tire wear problems.
Mine was fine and didnt notice any difference
The tyres I used on my bike wore well too
Check out my tyre change video and the isle of white video too bud you'll enjoy them
Take care
those huge big bikes intimidate me, like they are just too big to handle, i think ill get a smaller bike
ArcadeMAD once you get moving they are really nice to ride and hold the road very well
It is just moving them around that’ can for little fellas like me be a little unsettling lol
But there’s a nack to it which you sort of just get used to
Saying that I love my little versys for riding every day
i have a 1200 bandit and a triuph sprint st they do look intimidating to start with.but as soon as they get above 10 mph all the weight drops away im 5' 10" and 61 years old now you would notice in a corner they are absolutely planted to the road no drama like a smaller bike that can twist and buck you have to work a lot harder,but you can just tip in (they are a bit slower than a small bike turning) give one a go .the one thing with a big bike like my 2 with massive torque they can be ridden at 30 mph in top gear open the throttle and when you quietly rumble up to about 5000 revs look at the speedo
your now doing about 120 mph no drama !!! have a go you will love it. keep it shiney side up .
Good night,
Dear Mark, I would like to know where you got the suspension lowerer for your Trophy, because I also have one and I have fallen with it 3 times. you could send me the manufacturer and the part code with the contact so that I can ask for an equal. I live in Brazil and therefore I need to order via the website.
hug.
Elizio
Oh dear that's not good falling over , I found it on e bay but don't think the sell outside UK im sorry to say
But if you can find one it really helped the seat hight as I'm 5.8 and as in the video both feet on the floor
However its still a heavy bike once loaded and the wife on the back
Have a watch on my road trip to the isle of Wight video
Take care bud
You should have reversed the bolts so that next time you wouldn't have to move the exhaust.
well yea guess so but didnt want to mess around too much with the set up but all in a great end and rode very well
@@marksavage I just dropped mine while slow manoeuvring on a steep camber and dropped kerb. £368 worth of damaged to the pannier and fairings. Gutted! Just ordered a lowering kit on ebay. Thanks for the video. Good Information.
@@IkeBrider this was why i did mine as they are big old girls , this will help bud
@@marksavage Cheers Mark. All done now. Do you recall the torque wrench setting for the drop link bolts?
@@IkeBrider no bud i just sort of know if that makes sense lol
