Has anyone lowered their NC700X using lowering links. Needs to be about an inch lower for my wife.

I just finished posting a moan on the UK forum when I opened this one to see this thread about lowering the bikes to suit different sized riders. I do not understand why bike companies cannot be bothered to provide for some very simple and basic adjustments - seat height being the most obvious.
A modern car has fore and aft adjustment of the seat, height adjustment, variable back rest plus usually the ability to change the angle of the seat squab and the amount of leg/thigh support provided.
There's no real reason why bikes should be any different - it would just take a little bit of thought from the designers.

while that may be a simple and awesome idea, i'm afraid that would send prices thru the roof. not to mention more bits and parts to go wrong.
what if there is a malfunction of the seat and it ejects you, or drops you an inch mid corner?
thats why there is an aftermarket market.
