I doubt they will have made any yet as it's a new bike.
Aftermarket kits may come soon.

I bet there are already those parts around as that bike has been around for a couple of years now...
I am not familiar with the frame or shock designs of this bike but the 2010 seems very similar to the 2008 model so I would bet that, if they are the same there will be some lowering links for it...
But good luck finding them!

Oh yes, by lots of places.
(just for clarity - the XTX is a superMoto, the Tenere is a XT660Z, not to be confused with the XTZ660, which is the original Tenere)
If you want answers to every question you could think of, then the best place to ask this is . : XT660.com The #1 xt660 resource : . | The #1 xt660X, xt660R and xt660Z Tenere resource, more <new) Tenere owners than you can shake a stick at, with just as many modifications to help you along.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
