Author Lust lowering kit questions (Read 9946 times)

At 5'6 I've never seen the world from such a high vantage point as when I'm sitting on my trophy, but I fear getting tired of constantly hauling a step ladder around to mount/ dismount.

Looks like most of the board members have gone with the lust lowering kit. I would need the 1 inch version (obviously).

Question:

1. Do you have to modify the kick / center stands afterwards
2. Do most suggest a front fork drop (and if so, by how much) also
3. Haven't read anything about significant handling issues afterward, is there?

Thanks in advance, and if you see me around, I could use a " leg up"

Try this link from a "lust lowering search I did:
https://www.triumph-trophy.com/index.php/topic,3617.msg46104.html#msg46104

The search tab can find a lot of information pretty easily, it just may take a while scrolling through it to find just what you want.

I looked at the LUST kit,BUT I did not like the idea of a "FIXED" amount of adjustment. I bought the Soupys adjustable links, I can fine tune my drop and match the front end too. NOW I DID also buy the soupys adjustable side stand Nice working set up Did I mention that i have only a 27 inch in seam...

Greygoose, the step ladder was your obvious first mistake. Even at 5'5" a step stool should do the job.

I installed the Lust kit and dropped the front their recommended measurement. No handling differences that I notice.

Shorter side stand is important. Stopping on even a slight camber leaves the bike uncomfortably vertical. I bought Soupy's but be sure to get the oversized disk for the foot. He copied the foot from a CBR600RR, a 400 lb. bike and the stand won't support the Trophy on anything less than a hard surface.

Yes I forgot to mention I did buy the add on oversized hocky puck for the side stand foot. It goes on in about a minute and easily doubles the surface area

Greygoose,

I lowered mine with the standard Lust lowering links 20mm and pushed to forks up 1/2 inch if memory serves and I have found no significant difference in the bike's handling. There are a couple good threads with how to install them yourself. Installing the links took about 30 minutes, pushing up the forks took about an hour. As far as the side stand, I just make sure the ground is level or sloped down right to left. I have had no problem. I have found an extra side stand I am going to cut and weld, I will report once that is done.

If you are interested I have an extra set of the Lust lowering links 20mm that I am willing to part for $60 plus $7.00 shipping. They are still in the shrink wrap. PM me if you are interested.
