    For Christmas my wonderful wife surprised me with a 2020 Speed Triple RS with just over 6K miles.

    My issue is I am 5'9" with a 28" instep so find bike is Currently So Tall I am on tip toes at a stop.

    Have learned Previous owner was 6'4" tall so some accommodations may have been to give him a bit more Leg Room.

    How do I go about LOWERING seat height?

    Is there some adjustment capability on Rear Shock to raise / lower back end (seat height)??

    If NO to above maybe a "lowered" seat--from Triumph (OEM). Have heard there is this possibility.

    Next thought is buy a used seat and have foam shaved / replaced. Maybe?

    Then there is the lowering link option but THEN I WORRY about upsetting the handling balance.

    This is one option found:

    https://www.t-rex-racing.com/2017-2024-Triumph-Street-Triple-Lowering-Link-p/ll10-17.htm

    Thicker soles on boots (not really interested in that option).

    Open to any all suggestions.

    Thank you

    @Ricardo Sawyer You have really answered your own query. Those link look the business. Plus so many things you can do with a seat but you need to keep it comfortable. And you can lower the front forks to mate up nicely
