Does anyone make lowering links?

[ranman]

just thinking
can anyone make lowering links?
because i want to try a couple of diffrent legenths.
i want to lower it 1" or posibaly 1.5" not sure. i tryed 2" to low for takeing wifey for a ride. the multi hole does not offer both sizes. and i want soupys but had to buy summer gear so don`t have the extra 100$.
if someone has the skils and can make a set please let me know, and what you want to make them.
as always thanks

Soupy on e-Bay that is the perfect combo!!!

 

[ranman]

does anyone know if you can raise the rear with soupys for track days?

 

[SOUPY]

i also build raising links for the busa.

 

[ranman]

can they adjust to lower or raise?

 

[SOUPY]

in order to raise, the busa links become VERY short, which makes it hard to lower. i think mine could raise and lower about an inch. travel in the fully adjustable links will be lost...

 

[ranman]

thanks for the info, hopefuly next month

 

[SOUPY]

if you guys need anything please be sure to let me know!

Sent pm... Also, what is the prefered method for lowering the front? That I know of, the options are:
Straps

Bushing

Lower the stock Triple Clamps

Adjustable Triple, not sure if it upper or lower?

I was looking at the bushings, thinking it would allow the suspension to be fully functional, whereas straps will limit the forks movement?

*note: Not trying to Hi-jack, just thought this would be an appropriate place to ask, combined with the rear lowering.*

QUESTION:

Stock Bike...What would be the recommended lowering height for front and rear if one wanted to maintain max traction/handling through the twisties and occassionally riding two-up w/out any fear of bottoming out?  Or is that even possible?

I'm guessing maybe 1" but would like to hear from the experts.

top clamp spacers, then slide up the forks, but be careful not too much. inexpensive. try reaper risers.

entirely different upper triple clamp will allow the forks thru to lower.

strap usually only recommended for the dragstrip.

from what i have read/seen +1" in the back is the way to go for twisties. not sure of the front. prob leave it stock height.

although they have less travel, i also make busa raising links.

thanks

Is it just a raising link or raising /lowering link?

How much?
