    Mate of mine is getting a nc750x dct and wants to lower it, anyone know a good lowering kit for this bike or any experience with kits on other bikes. I've not had to lower one myself so have no knowledge.

    I put on the lust lowering kit to my versys
    It just dropped back the shock an inch and !/2 therefore lowering the height of the seat

    I then lowered the front forks via the clamp bolts by about same amount

    There are also available lower seats

    I did not notice any difference in handling after lowering but the V has a good ground clearance to begin with anyway

    I think the proper amount to adjust the forks is 5mm for every inch at the rear shock.
    I think.:rolleyes:

    What brand is your kit? I presume you'd recommend them. Noted on the triple tree adjustment, thanks for that.
