Ok fellas I have a new quest, and that is to lower the t3. I have heard about the triple tree trick for the front end but what can I do for the back end? I seen ncy makes a bracket for it but I cant see myself spending 60$ for a piece of Steel I can make myself. So does anyone have any other ideas? This bike isn't my daily to rough bumpy ride isn't really an issue the scoot is my toy lol.

Only thing I've seen is that shock mount lowering bracket you mentioned, and it is expensive for a chunk of steel. Please post if you find other solutions, I would very interested!

I'm very interested in how this turns out. Post pics of before and after if you lower it please. I've thought about doing this but want to get some other things done first.

I have to ask why lower a scooter. It is not a '57 Chevy, and only has 6" to 8" ground clearance on a good day.
Take a usable machine and make it so it can't clear a speed bump or a large rock?
What am I missing? Is there an attraction to lowered scoots.... I don't think so, but am usually wrong.

Thats the one and only thing im after here this bike will be ridden at car shows and similar events. I will also be stretching the bike in the near future. Like stated on the first post the bike isn't NOT a daily driver its a toy. |

You can just search the seller name and it will show up. He has had the listing sell out a few times and then he will get more in stock at a later time. |

That is a good enough reason. Here in SoCal you see a lot of cars with very little clearance. A fun project is sometime just that, having some fun. Keep posting photos so we can see how it looks. |
