Hello all. I'm in the process of getting back into Triumphs, and I am looking pretty hard at a T-100 this time. The issue is I am on my tip toes and would obviously like to be lower. I know I can work on the front and back springs and the seat, but how low can I go before I mess with the ride?


Have fun!

Hey glen,
If you own an America, why are you looking at a T-100? The America sits lower to the ground the the Bonneys. If you want info on the T-100 i recommend you ask the guys on the Rat.net. Just my opinion!

Unfortunately the America is gone. Now I'm looking at something else. Thus the question. Thanks for asking though.


Have fun!

definitely ask over at ratnet, but it sounds like guys who have lowered their bikes here are still happy with the ride. Obviously you'll scrape in turns sooner...

I'm pretty sure there is an aftermarket seat available the is way lower and looks better too.
