I bought a nicecnc lowering link off Amazon for my 690. The bearings in it were junk. Sent it back and ordered a Koubalink. Big difference…I assume the following does the same as the Koubalink since it doesn't change the shock travel range:

Even though I've poured time & $ into the 690 Enduro, I considered a different bike. I sat on a 2022 390 Adventure this weekend. Lower pwr:wt, 65 #s heavier (!), and I hear it is top end biased. All going the wrong direction. Lighter is righter. It almost weighs as much as my old Hawk. I think it would make a great road & dirt road bike. Bars are 3-4" too low for standing technical riding.Unscrew the gas cap and slide a lower bike underneath it. Maybe a 690 duke?
Any known shops in or near San Antonio? I may take a kit to Hertell's here and/or talk to Alpha Moto.Proper lowering is done internally. The KTM kit is very good, but various shops can do the same. A fellow on the Big Adventure Forum did that, put a 19" front and 17" rear and got another little bit lower, is very happy.
It's not cheap to do it right.
I assume this won't work on my 2013 model.Try this. Its a 40mm Super Moto lowering kit. Thats a bunch.
