tenere 1vj lowering
Can anyone advise me where to go to lower my 1vj(86). I'd like to lower it about 35mm all round. Any offers? Most places don't seem to do it for the 1vj.

Not sure to be honest? you say "all round" have you tried sliding the forks up in the triples?

A different spring is required. Softer/shorter.
The calculation is complicated and many parameters must be provided.
