    hi guys, pretty self explanatory. Is there a simple way to make my street twin taller ? Also, slip ins, x-pipe or decay pipe. Cheers Charlie

    Longer rear suspension units? Talk to the gentlemen at Hagon for advice (other manufacturers are available).
    Re-upholster the seat with more (bum friendly) padding?
    Replacement seat with deeper padding?
    There may be other, more technical solutions which others may suggest.:cool:

    Suspension and seating as the other guys have said.
    Not a bad thing to change the rear suspension anyway, the OEM shocks are far too hard unless you weigh 25 stone.
    Watch Delboy on YouTube he explains it all well.

    Just noticed the original post date is Oct. 2016
    youve probably sorted it by now ???

    Hi Charlie I have updated the rear shocks on my Street Twin with TEC ones. So far they are proving to be a reasonable replacement. You can adjust these to increase the length of the shocks.

    Worth a look.
