Hi Guys

I am looking at getting some lowering links form my XTR.
Can anyone recommend a brand?
And will i have to shorten the stand? is an XTX stand any shorter?

Thanks in advance guys

A quick Google search gave two companies selling lowering links for the XTR,
lustracing.co.uk and lowering links.com. But the latter is not very cheap.

After searching this forum I found all the dimensions for lowering links for my XTZ and had a friend made me some to drop the bike 1".
On my bike I didn't have to shorten the side stand, although it was standing more upright.

For what it's worth, on the XTZ, lengthening the links from standard 125mm hole centers to 133mm would give 1" drop and 140mm gives 2" drop.
The ratio is 1:3.4

Hopefully someone can chip in to advise how the XTR differs if any.

My advice would be simple. DONT DO IT!!!! The handling is fantastic as standard and awful when lowered so please try to get used to the bike as it is. The lowered version is half as good as the standard bike.
