Leave a like if this helped you make a decision! This is the process for lowering the KTM 690 SMC R with a Koubalink Lowering Link and a Seat Concepts lowering seat. TLDW: It went from 35.5 inches to 33.75 inches, looks better, and is way more comfortable. The seat and the link were both purchased from Koubalink. They carry the seat in stock.
