Hello everyone!

I have had the NT700 for just under 12 months now, really enjoying the bike and plan on keeping it long term.

However, new development is that I may have a regular pillion in the future and I am looking to become a bit more stable and secure on the bike. I'm able to manage myself and I haven't dropped the bike, however, with a pillion I'd like to be a bit more stable before they get on the back with me.

I've found this video, which is really useful, but it does appear like a hell of a lot of work that I don't think I can do myself with the tools and equipment I own. The lack of garage makes it harder also.

Just looking for some advice and information if anyone has done this before or more experience with mechanics than I do, if you could provide some advice or insight into an alternative method I'd really appreciate it. As well as what the estimated cost of labour should look like?

I managed to find the kit for £70. Which isn't bad at all!

I already have Daytona lift boots, worth every penny with my 28" leg.
I was considering getting the seat reshaped, but I don't want to lose out on comfort.

Thank you for the help and advice!
 
Try searching in the suspension forum. Phil Tarman lowered his with a hyperpro kit.
Also keep in mind you may need to shorten the sidestand and the centerstand will be harder to use when bike is lowered.
