I guess this topic has been covered. however can't seem to find any of the kits for sale, any advice?

I am also looking at replacing my chain adjuster with gold anodized ones anyone manufactures those?

Regards

The Ducati comfort seat is narrower in front so it's easier to be flat-footed at a stop. Good luck on finding one. You could also get your stock seat reshaped. Double soles on riding boots also helps.

Looks to me like those Napoleon brackets would be easy for someone to produce. They're just an offset single-piece linkage to space the rear shocks further back.

Surely any good machinist could make something similar?

Then drop the yokes a corresponding amount and most of the work is done. Even better with a narrower,slimmer seat...

I have no issues with the seat height, its purely for cosmetic purposes I like a lowered back end. What happened to the Napoleon Bracket manufacturer?

If it is not to lower the seat height, talk to a suspension guy. I believe they can install a shim inside the rear shock which effectively shortens it. That is a good excuse to have the shock set up for you.
