advise

[burnschevy]

just need alittle advise here... i took my busa in for its first 600 mile service today at the local dealer, I asked about lowering the rear 2 inches and what to know if it helped with more of an upright ride postion, I have been told many different stories, I am pretty comfy on my bike, Just get a little hand soreness after about 2 hours riding, any thoughts on weither or not it is worth $130 to have this done

Not worth that money, do it yourself.

You have a couple of options.

 

[heavybusa]

you can go the 3 hole link (this is what I have)

 

[heavybusa]

or an adjustable.

[heavybusa]

As I recall you work in (or around) and automotive shop, so you can do this.

That looks awesome!!!

I would be that low if the roads were flat and I wasnt heavy.

 

[heavybusa]

If you want to do the front too (i assume you are just doing the back because the subject said links) it takes a little more thought.

Where can you get the adjustable one's? I googled it but can't find any. and about how much do they cost?

You can go to e-bay, but a lot of members recommend Soupys.

130 bucks? You should do it yerself. Easy.

I made my own adj. links and had it pretty low -then I noticed I was DESTROYING my belly wing so I raised it up some , still lower than stock, tho. And it definitely takes some weight off yer wrists.

 

[SANDFLEA85]

yeah,I must add you really need to avoid potholes and speedbumps...dont take much to bottom out

you deserved that one.

if you lower you need to adjust your suspension settings I lowered it for a while without to spongy in the azzend felt like I didn't have much control, did it took the time spent the money decided I like stock height better

 

[fstbusa]

I think the combo of lowering the rear and bar risers make it super comfy to ride 500+ miles. other than a little monkey butt

 

[BigGeorge]

3 words... Soupy's Adjustable Links. Make your adjustments on the fly.

He has the lowering links and the risers in the org Auction area.

I ordered from Soupy on Tuesday and the links arrived today. Super quality!

 

[fstbusa]

I agree. I have soupys links. All adjustables are pricy but his are very heavy duty.
