Suspension lowering

Yep I agree with your comments. 20mm doesn't sound much but the angle at which the bike leans is more upright. I'm always weary about how level the ground is.
Think I'll go the same route as yourself 👍

Hello ! Can you tell me how did you lower the front fork 15mm? Only by lifting the fork crowns in the fork tubes? On my trident, the original fork crowns already exceeded 10mm and it is not possible to raise them more than 5mm. Having lowered the rear by 25mm, the behavior of the bike is no longer the same and I don't like that! Thank you for your answers :) Claire from France

Hello,
The forks already protrude the crowns as shown from the factory.. measure underneath the crown and mark using a bit of tape. Loosen the pinch bolts slightly so that the forks slide up to the mark you have made. Make sure both are the same and re tighten the pinch bolts.
