Check out http://www.1stgearcycles.net/you won't see them on his site but give him a call he will be there between 12-4 saterday. If it is out there he can find it. This where I take my own bike to be worked on. And he is one of the ones who has done a lot of the mods to my bike.

if it does not work for you her the main post

Well i ordered a set of lowering links from brad and unfortunately they either lower the bike 1 inch or 3 inches on the 06 model.. which 1inch isnt much and 3 inches is pretty drastic for street riding on a 1000rr.. so i spoke with diamond powersports the company that makes them and i found out that if you put on a set of 600rr links on the 1000rr it will lower the bike about 2inches..

I got a set for 2.99 on ebay.. what a steal.. threw them on the bike in about 10 minutes and it lowers the rear of the bike just perfect to sit level with front if you lowered the front 1 inch.. so i dropped the triple tree 1 inch and the rear 2 inches approx.. and the bike sits perfect!!

so for any of you guys who like to drag race etc.. this is a good cheap mod that will save you a few bucks.. good luck..

Hey Rice,
Did the person who used this technique say if it affect the handling or steering of the bike in anyway negative.I keep hearing from others that it can mess up the handling and steering in corners. Can you shed on light on this subject.
