Since work is keeping me away from starting my turbo install I figure I would ask one of the mechanics if he can make me a set of steel lowering links. I have a set of aluminum 0-2-4" lowering links that work well, but I can't get over the thin wall between the holes. Heavy bike and riding two up on aluminum links just never really was confident inspiring.
I left him the link and marked the overall length needed to get the 2.5" of lowering. This is what I found in my mailbox today. Holy they are the same thickness as the aluminum but weight about ten times more and made of some scrap steel we have here at the plant. These babies will not flex and I can't think of why they will not work.

With the turbo I will have dump pipes so I am gaining some 2" of extra ground clearance where the exhaust headers use to run under the engine. I figure on trying to see what 2.5" of lowering looks like. The price was right, so why not?
