Just installed the alt-rider lowering kit 32mm lower in the rear and for now the forks @ the 3rd ring as in the pic. I previously had the alt-rider adjustable stand for the Idaho BDR raised 1 inch- so I took it back to the “stock” markings on the strand. Initial impressions - heck a lot of easier moving the bike around and much better ground reach for my short 29-30 inch inseam. I can be on the balls of both feet and easily slide to flat foot one side in stop lights. Ran it on the freeways and local tarmac - no dirt yet. The bike seems to turn a bit sharper but haven’t had any freeway wobble or front end looseness at speed. I may or may not be playing with final front fork tubes position/setting but would like to test the setup in dirt. Thanks for the good product.
You can a suspension tuner alter ride heights for you (reversible), you can pull the fork tubes through the triple tree a reasonable but complimentary amount to bring the rake angle into position, you may find the front handles similarly and no further adjustments need to be made.
@c.g.c2067 we'd recommend starting with a 10mm drop, noting how the bike feels on asphalt, if it turns too slow at only a 10mm drop, adjust it to a 15mm drop after that because 2mm will make a big difference based on front end ride height and travel for an experienced rider, for an average rider, making the dog bones longer, gives the rear shock more leverage, so even though the bike is lower, the rear shock will have a slight mechanical advantage, so the drop on the front then doesn't have to be as much because the rear is now more "compliant" so for "feeling" we recommend a little testing and figuring out what you want and need from your suspension and riding style. Raising the front, or lowering the rear will adjust the front forks steering head angle. And why a small adjustment at the front may make up for the small amount of squat at the rear.
@@DesertX_horse We sure do, we currently have a high fender kit and a luggage rack on the way and more to come www.altrider.eu/product/category/fmid/109/cid/1/d/Parts+and+Accessories+for+DesertX You can always visit our website or follow us on social media to learn about new parts

That's awesome!
What is your inseam?
31 inches or 79 cm
You lower the rear 32mm and what happens to the front?

@@AltRiderLLC hi, thanks. Can you pull them out 32mm as the rear?

Hi,
Do you give for each rear height, the set up of the front link ?
