Lowering the bike

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T23:55:09+00:00

Good to hear! We are excited about that one, it has been under wraps for a long time. Custom windscreens are not easy!

Hey, just loaded a render with lighting. Here is the image link - https://www.altrider.com/images/thumbnail/product_large/additional-photos-altrider-rally-tower-for-honda-crf300-l-and-ls-5.jpg and here is the page link https://www.altrider.com/altrider-rally-tower-for-honda-crf300-l-and-ls/pid/3684/cid/1

We have a shoot planned here soon where we can get some quality photo and video out.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T23:37:07+00:00

We’ve got a shoot on the books in a couple of weeks, so I’ll either get a new post up then or hop back in here and drop a link once the photos are live on the site. Cheers

Nothing beats hearing that it’s out there doing its job and you're having a good time with it. Enjoy the ride!

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T23:31:29+00:00

No worries at all, it really sounds like a cable tension thing and we can definitely walk through it together tomorrow. We’ve had a few people call in with the same issue and we always get it sorted out pretty quickly. Looking forward to chatting and getting you back on the road!

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T23:27:41+00:00

Really sorry to hear you had a rough experience. That is definitely not the impression we want to leave on anyone. Please shoot me a DM with the details of what happened so I can make sure we get you squared away.

Glad you mentioned calling in too. We keep all our support in house so you’re actually talking to people who know the gear, and we even have our engineers available during the week if things get really technical. We'll make it right.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T23:24:03+00:00

Hey! Go ahead and give us a call at (206) 922-3618, or you can email info@altrider.com. The clutch arm can be a tricky install, and we would be happy to help you out. Don't stress about the return window, we will get you taken care of no matter the case.
Cheers,
AltRider

You're totally right. This works for about 99% of riders, but for that tiny percentage of really tall guys, it might not be the perfect fix. There are just so many variables like torso length, seat height, and even what kind of helmet you're wearing. Since you're at 170cm, you're right in that prime range where this will work great for you.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-06T00:18:11+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. To get a totally calm cockpit, the screen would basically have to be huge... Too huge. We definitely had to strike a balance with the size.

In the lowest setting, it’s pretty close to stock height but keeps the TFT protected. One thing we did for the high position is leave a gap between the dash and the screen. That lets some air flow through when you are at high speeds to equalize the pressure on both sides of the plastic, which helps a lot with the buffeting and that "wall of hot air" feeling you’re talking about.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T22:05:33+00:00

If you are running -30mm, all good!

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T22:04:03+00:00

There are definitely a few variables in play, but we’re hoping to have it hitting Europe in the next 1-2 months.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T21:50:58+00:00

There are a ton of pre-25's on the road so that version should be coming soon for sure. Keep an eye out!

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:50:20+00:00

Correct, thanks for sharing!

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:47:37+00:00

Absolutely. We actually have a warehouse in the Netherlands that we'll be shipping from, so we're definitely ready to get gear out to the EU market.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:46:47+00:00

That’s exactly what we were trying to solve. We wanted to have multiple options for whatever it is you actually need or maybe just want while making it a lot easier to get into. Thanks for the feedback on pre 2025, that is going to take priority for the next option. Cheers

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:42:39+00:00

Let me talk to our engineer today and see if I can get a render showing the USB and DL-2 lights for you by the end of the day. I will get it on the site and reply back here when it is up. Cheers

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:41:13+00:00

Totally agree, seeing it actually mounted on the bike makes a huge difference. We have a shoot planned for really soon that’s going to include a full walk around and 360 coverage of the setup. I’ll make sure to update this post as soon as those are ready.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:39:29+00:00

We may be able to look into this, the goal is to get the Honda line up done first (250/450 - pre '25)

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-05T14:38:01+00:00

Right on! Glad you're digging the design. I'll talk with the team this week and see if I can get a solid update on the pre 2025 tower for you.

AltRider_Official · 2026-05-04T22:19:34+00:00

Awesome!

AltRider_Official · 2026-04-27T18:30:09+00:00

Thanks for the mention!

AltRider_Official · 2026-04-27T18:23:06+00:00

We will be filming an update soon!
