So, I've had the little Duke for a while now, and I am struggling with the height a bit (getting too old and inflexible to throw my leg over that high! Lol) and I wouldn't mind something a bit more compliant while I'm at it...
So, I have been looking at the Yamaha shock upgrade, but have just found out that actually does nothing for the height... at least not in the right direction for me!
Has anyone tried using a shorter shock from another bike and how would I figure out how much lower it's likely to be?
Am considering a Triumph Street Triple shock, total length is 10mm shorter, but all the other measurements seem to match pretty well, and I can get one for under $25 to test the theory...
Are there any others that may fit the bill to be considered?
Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get an adjustable side stand that won't cost me the earth? Shipping to Australia sucks! Lol...
Cheers!
