Re: [ST] Short Question



Hi Neal,

Unless you just don't like the seat, you will be happier changing the 
rear shock or the rear linkage to one that lowers the rear.  At your 
weight the rear spring may be too stiff anyway.  There is a guy in 
England that sells dogbones for SSSA Triumphs through t595.net.  Look 
here http://www.t595.net/sp/customised.asp .  You'll need a custom made 
version.

The chain adjustment eccentric can be used to raise and lower the rear 
some, as well.
