xtx lowering

I want my bike lowered. I have tried to order from offroad.de but since i don`t know any german i dont understand a word.

I have seen their 3 cm kit and i want to order it. Is there some more understandable place to buy from or is this the only solution?

I want the tuv approved kit, can anybody help me to order it, or give me some other dealers?

A new sportairfilter wan�t make me mad either!!!
Help is much appriciated!

Last year I ordered front sprocket for my xt from OTR,even had some delivery problems with postal service, but Thorsten speaks and writes english well and helped me to solve delivery problems and get my sprocket, so it should not be a problem to contact him and make an order.

Please Jense never display your address in any public forum, for your own safety. I have removed it for you.

Now..... as far as ordering the lowering kit from off-the-road is concerned, Thorsten, the owner speak very good english,
so phone him on this number: +49 221 768 0560

Good luck.and he can also help you with the filter.

I wan`t to lower the bike because i am 173cm. My suspension is at its lowest, but i think it�s too high turning in hills. Had to lay it down yesterday, luckily on the grass.

It may look ugly, but so am i. I guess there will be one advantage: wheelies in second gear.....

Anyway, thank you for your attention..

I am sure they don't, but its better to be safe then sorry, pleae don't take these actions the wrong way, its your protection and the possible law implications with this forum in case someone do stalk you and it is passed on to the law that they've got your details from my forum, I hope that clears your mind in respect to my actions. I am the owner and I have to protect both the users and myself.

Jense I don't know if you have thought about this but there is another solution to the problem. I have the same problem as you with height but I've resolved it by having the foam inside my saddle cut down a few inches, and It made a huge difference, better than all the lowering kits you might ever get.

Have a look at these picture to give you an idea

You can do this yourself if you remove the staples that hold the vinyl cover to the saddle peel the cover by one side and then you get a sharp cheese knife, cut as much foam as you need or have a professional saddle upholsterer to do it for you.
