Lowered bike and it didnt cost me an arm and a leg..

[Coltnut_imp]

You could of ordered the stock honda lower bushings from bike bandit and avoided the machine shop. I replaced the bushings in a set of hagon nitro shocks i had as takeoffs from my thruxton they were 370mm (stock thrux is 360) though which added a little height and worked a charm. The stock triumph shock looks and performs alot like the stock honda shock.....

My original plan was to just press out the lower bushings from the Honda shock and press them into the Triumph shock,that didn't go according to plan as the steel eyelet on the triumph had a bigger I.D.,the Honda lower bushing was about an 1/8" O.D. smaller than the Triumph Bushing's O.D.,the Honda bushing will drop freely thru the triumph's lower eyelet...hence why I looked for a bushing with a matching inside I.D. and an oversize O.D.
Eventually it worked out.
