How much do you need to lower it by?
Also perhaps a silly question but why do you want it lower?

You want it lower?!! :o :stupid:

Seriously though, do you know if it has the standard link fitted, or has it maybe been modified previously to raise the rear?

Always thought it was funny that people modify their bikes for when they are stopped when they should be optimising them for when they are being ridden.

Not really sure what you mean there Sil3nt, raising the rear positively affects the way the Bike 'rides' (handles).
The fact it also makes it look better (in my, and most people's opinion), is immaterial . . . ;)

I was talking about a lowering link which would be the complete opposite of raising the rear!

Yes, Rick Oliver on here sells an NC30 lower kit as well as a raising kit.

I take it you want to lower the seat height?

Yes, sorry Sil3nt, realise that now.
I really shouldn't post comments when I'm so knackered, had just got in from a tiring (but hugely enjoyable) long weekend at the Belgian Classic TT, in Gedinne.
:oops:

Lowering linkages are no longer on my stocklist but I do still have the parts to put one together for you if you are in need.

Mail me off forum - ricknc30@gmail.com
