Soupy Lowering Link - UK

[Bamf]

Hi - Has anyone got a Soupy lowering link for sale (new or used) or know of a UK supplier. I can purchase from the US, but not sure what the import duties and VAT will come to

Hi mate, did you get any further on this for a supplier in the UK? Even just to buy them and i can take it to the local bike shop to get it fitted myself. I see Cymarc do it, but im up in perth Sotland, so not just up the road.

I have bitten the bullet and purchased the Soupy lowering kit. It arrived this week and the bike is booked in with a local motorcycle tech for fitting on the 16th

They're fairly easy to do...I fitted mine myself in ~1/2 hour....then adjust the rear suspension using the Soupy's links to the rear height you want...then adjust the front forks in the triple clamps to suit and the bike is "level"....job done. Mine is lowered ~25mm and I can easily "flat foot" on either side now.

Don't forget to reset the ride height sesnor in Motoscan or GS-911, only takes a minute or so. The bike has a ride height sensor at the front left of the swingarm so it knows where it lives in space, lowering the suspension will change it's ride height and the system will try to "recalim" the lost height if it's not reset to a lower datum.

Smithy.

Smithy- Thanks for the heads up on the height sensor as I wasn’t aware of that

So I have had the Soupy lowering kit fitted and happy with the height. I would like to offer a word of warning anyone having their bike lowered, and something that I never gave any thought to, the increased difficulty in getting the bike onto the centre stand once it had been lowered.  It took one hell of an effort to the point that I have improvised by cutting a piece of high density polystyrene 6"x6" by 1.5" thick, rolling the back wheel onto before putting the bike onto the centre stand.  It is now effortless and i will just pop this into my tank bag.

It takes a little more effort but not that much. Put mine on centre stand easily enough.
If you're struggling though, just buy a Low model centre stand off ebay and fit it. Part numbers are readily available

It depends on how much the bike has been lowered. I would suggest mine to have been lowered by 1.5”. I am not exaggerating when I say it took a hell of an effort. Maybe my technique
