    I have a triumph tiger 1050 got it yesterday
    Rode it from Donnington to Portsmouth.
    What I want to ask is I need to lower it a bit
    What would be the best way to do it .
    I also ride a XJR 1300 .

    Hi and welcome. I had a 25mm lowering kit put on mine by the dealer when I bought mine new. With the low seat I got the seat height down by 45 mm. I’m sure the kit is still available :)

    I put lowering links on mine too. You will also need to alter the front fork angle slightly to maintain an even ride height. Come back if you need advice on that.
