Lowering / Raising links
 
Dear all, we are considering the possibility to have both lowering and raising kits manufactured specifically for our bikes and sold through our website, these will be built under Kev's strict specifications and materials, by the same company that builds the succesful spacers kits.

What I need to know is what most people here would be interested in; A lowering kit or a raising one, can you please vote in the above poll so we know what is needed the most,

Thanks


p.s.: the voting is only for statistical purpose, voting does not mean you are committing to order a set.

As Fran said we are looking into making these links.

What I had in mind, was a lowering link so you can lower the bike at the rear & then push the fork tubes through the triple clamps to even it out & a lifting link to raise the rear end + adding fork spacers to lift the front end which would give you overall more ground clearance.

I would only look into make them up if there would be an interest. A pproximate price would be around the $80.00 mark posted to your door, I do not have the exact price yet until I get one machined up. I am manly after is it worth get them made up, the price can be sorted out later.

Kev how much is that in UK pounds, looked on google for a converter but couldnt find one with Aussie jobbys?? Just i am interested in a riser kit for the bike, and was gonna buy one from ebay at around �30 or so, from a place called bikefarmmv in germany. heres the link to the ebay site

But depending on price depends on where i buy it. Also just as a thought how much would the jack up kit + the fork spacers be, if sent all in one? (as you say would rise the bike up more at front too with spacers)

Kev as you can see from the poll results so far, raising links are 7:1 compared to lowering links, have you heard from the metal guy yet?

I have the jack up kit fitted to my XTR aand a set of fork spacers and they work a treat.

does anyone have a drawing and dimensions for them as i work in the sheet metal trade and could probably knock some up

Kev 12-01-08 20:57

Kev2 the machinest is waiting on me for the sizes, he has already writen the Auto Cad program to cut them out.

If someone has a set already please PM me with the center hole distances, it will save me alot of time working them out.

How would it effect the handling if raising the bike? Would it make any difference, except more ground clearance?

cheers for that denny. Worked out to be about �36:woo:, will have to see, have plenty of things on a list of need to buy items and it is very long at the moment and gonna cost alot to buy most of them.
