Default need help lowering links

Hi, just bought another 1988 Hurricane 1000. I am looking for lowering links and can't find any on line. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Jeff

There are none. They have to be custom made.

One of the fellow member here did drill another set of holes in the original one though.

Thanks for the reply. What other alternatives are there for lowering? Does aCorbin gunfighter seat help at all? I need about an inch to an inch and a half to feel comfortable. I am 5'3". Thanks

A new seat wont always help and can make things worse.

I,E some of the Corbin/Sargent etc styles make the seat wider which means ya legs are more splayerd making it harder to touch.

If you have your pre-load on minimum setting and still cant touch you could always use the shock out the the 88/89 models which is shorter.

But really either getting links make, replacing shock with 2nd hand unit or re-foaming the seat are all close enough to the same price.
