Hello Richard and welcome to the forum

                                                           I know what you mean about ttr's being too tall and with ya there. If you have a look in the FAQ( below) you will find some usefull info.

FAQ info     There is lowering links available here Lowering link       Also if you do a search from above you can find heaps of usefull info on lowering links ect.

  Good to see another fellow TTR250 owner on the forum.

Jarrah.

I had one of those fitted on my old ttr, really nice piece of kit with grease nipple as standard and comes with fitting instructions.

Got the bike back now, really happy with it now. could go a little bit lower lol. at the moment i have both the balls of my feet can touch. havent ridden it with my bike boots yet. I'll get riding it around and going out with a few mates on the dirt this weekend so see how i go. If im still a bit uncomfortable ill shave the seat. i would like to be able to put both feet flat on the ground
