Tested out my new Black Hammer boots with 3cm insoles. Almost flat footed on my new 15mm lowered Suzuki V-Strom 650XT.

How did you lower your V-strom by 15mm? New suspension links?

I measured the distance from center hole to center hole of the ori link which gave me 140mm and 155mm from the lowering link (dog bone) which installed by the shop.

How much did the shop charge you for these links? Were you given a choice of link lengths?

The shop I went to did mention this option, but I had no idea how much ground clearance I would be sacrificing. I was thinking to take it to a seat shop to have it modified and reshaped into a lower seat instead - cheaper than the Suzuki item & tailored for the shape of my arse with full customization options.

The shop charged me RM200 for the lowering links. I did not ask about sizes. I told the shop that I must tip toe or else I would not buy. So far, I am happy with it. My bike's ground clearance now is 150mm. (Stock 170mm).

Later I may remove the 4 pcs of rubber seat cushions under the seat and replaced with thin rubber strips to get it even lower.
