Lowering links by Lust Racing UK

Postby Scooterpie » Sun Apr 17, 2016 8:12 am

I finally stopped dilly dallying and ordered lowering links for my NC700. I had a number of concerns of how it would affect the handling, would it screw up cornering or the bike for that matter. Sometimes you never know until you do it.

Well it worked great! It enhanced the stability of the bike, I now have more foot on the ground and can actually back the bike in with ease and parking is easier. I no longer have to slide around on the seat to try and get my foot firmly planted on the ground. So all in all it was a very good decision.

Yeah, one of those "Why did I wait so long?" moments, but hey, most of us are wired that way.
I've been there before. Can I get there, again?

I am glad I did this. Took me 10 months to have the ah ha moment.

I got links from the UK too, to lower my YZF6r. I could park! I could touch ground! I stopped tipping over. Until I went in the mountains... and then I scraped the footpegs all over, which can be pretty dangerous. But, for just street it was rockstar!!
