Raising the bike

I just came across THESE. Being 200cm / 6'7" ish I'm thinking the higher the better in my case.

So my questions are, has anyone tried these? Anything to keep in mind before ordering? And (I don't have much hopes of anyone knowing this) is there any reason they wouldn't fit my ABS model as the travel length is sligtly shorter?

Does it make the front end feel more planted by the by?

(At present I find with two up and some rear baggage weight the front end can feel light)

Just curious, I see the first post/link has TUV approved products.
Does this mean homemade jobbies aren't legal?

Only in Germany. Perfectly legal in the UK... at the moment, that is until/if the EC get their way on type approval!

I can 100% recommend the Projection links. Made from 5mm 304 stainless steel which means they won't rust and no powder coating or cadmium plating to rub off.

Only thing to note with the multi hole version is that they don't fit if you have a genuine centre stand without modifying the stand bolt.

Standard links are 125mm, -15mm ride height is 130 mm ctr to ctr.

Another thing to note with adjusting the dog bone links is that a shorter one effectively stiffens the suspension a little and longer ones soften it a little.
