Tail riser / jack-up kit????

[Earthscape]

Hey Pat,
Yeah, been loving my "new" Tiger just over 10 years now.  Finally got it all straightened out, and it's better than ever.  I especially love the 49.9 MPG now!  When I wear out my old Dunlops I've got a set of Karoo Travellers in the garage waiting to try.

How do you like the Scrambler?  I keep thinking I'd like to have one of those too...

Does anyone know if you can get shorter dog-bones to raise the tail of a tiger ?

Perhaps no one has said yet because its obvious, but you do have your eccentric adjuster set for the higher ride height already, right?

On that same note, has anyone gone up a link or two on the chain to allow the eccentrics to rise higher?  Just a thought.

Ride height is adjustable using the rear shock.  Even the stocker I took off had that adjustment.

Just sayin, I'd try that first because it's quick and easy to do.

I want to lower my Steamer by 2'', I have raised the forks by about 1'' in he triples but I need the rear much lower. On my KLR I used lowering links, are any made for the tiger or if I fabricated longer shock links would it drop the bike?
Any help would be appreciated.

Easy way to lower the rear by about an inch is to rotate the eccentric adjusters 180 degrees, so the rear wheel axle sits lower, you`ll also have to raise the chainguard at the rear so the chain clears the guard.

I have heard that but how do you adjust the chain if you try to rotate them?
I saw were someone, flipped them around but not clear how that would accomplish anything either.
Does anyone have any photos of this mod?

[intotheabis]

I have heard of that but not sure how to accomplish that and still have proper chain adjustment.
I have also heard of flipping the chain adjusters but how does that work?
Anyone have any photos of this being done?

The axle bolt is in an eccentric hole to the swingarm chain tensioner in which it rides.  It doesn't matter whether the axle is in the top half or bottom half of the chain tensioner bore.  I've not done it, but there are photos here if you are diligent in your search.

Rotating the adjusters doesn`t make any difference to adjusting the chain, just do it like normal.
