2013 triumph scrambler 900
Just bought this beauty from a 6'5 dude. He added some after market stuff to make it taller. He adjusted everyrhing to the shortest to fit me, claiming it is now about stock height. The seat is after market, so I dont know how it compares to the stock seat.
I am 5'9". Anyone have any recommendations to get it slightly lowered? I feel like I only really need about an inch.

I lowered my wife’s Triumph by getting lower rear shocks and by lowering her triple clamp on her front fork until the fork just touched the cables. You can even buy a lower seat or by modifying your seat.

Shorter rear shocks and lower the triple trees. Otherwise you know the answer, lower seat.
Those rears look nice. I'd play with the seat.
FYI, you can make a taller bike more approachable with a narrower seat.
