Lowering Links

[Jonathon Jay]

How would they even work? Bolt to the rear shock?
 
To lower the front, wouldn't I somehow lower or compress the forks?Regards- Jonathon Jay"If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 10:26:50 -0800> From: steven at bixbys.net> To: annihilator1100 at hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Lowering Links> CC: gpzlist at micapeak.com> > I don't know about this specific product for the GPZ, but I did add> some lowering links to my wife's Suzuki Bandit 1250S a few weeks ago> and they work great for that bike.
