I just fitted a Hyperpro spring that lowered the bike about 20mm and also dropped front forks by similar amount to keep alignment. I did not have to shorten sidestand as it still gives a fair amount of lean.
Putting it on the centre stand is unchanged.

I would say that it has transformed the bike from a riding perspective and I find it easier to move around. Have had it 5 years so wish I had done the change earlier.

Additionally had the seat remodelled with softer memory foam. The front corners are lower and softer so I have in effect a lower seat. Done by Sussex Motorcycles cost £150.

Just got my first Guzzi - the V85TT - and I need to get my feet a smidge closer to the floor.

Wanted to ask for the exact rear spring people have used - I can see two types on the Hyperpro website, “Model with Hydraulic preload adjuster” or “Model with Hydraulic preload”

I have no idea what the difference is - any help appreciated

This is the page ref at Hyperpro for the spring that I fitted to my 2019 V85TT.

It comes down to the model year. If your’s is 2024/2025 then you will want the Hydraulic Preload adjuster variant

Superb, much appreciated

I am going to get a shorter shock on mine as just fitting a shorter spring means you lose top 25mm of suspension movement. If that does not worry you then a short spring is much cheaper

Ah that sounds interesting - let us know on here which shock you go for?

Well i was looking at the Shock Factory ‘M Shock’ supplied by Winding Roads in UK https://www.windingroads.co.uk/brand/shock-factory-uk/moto-guzzi-shock-absorbers/moto-guzzi-uk-shock-absorbers
Vulpine2 from this site has fitted one

But as I have just had to shell out £700 for a laptop (my own clumsiness) and £520 for a tumble dryer and £340 for a boiler repair and £200 for a phone i am a bit boracic till 2026 :slight_smile:
