you can also drop a f2 by using a f3 rear shock. it drops about 1.5 inches

Lee1rbc, I bought the exact same one from the same company, but for some reason I could not get the link to line up for the 3" drop. I guess I will have to try again. Do you have anything custom going on with the reas suspension set up or swingarm or anything??

BlkF2, does a F3 shock mount directly in place of a F2 shock??
Thanks
Elisha

I am not sureexactly the problem You are having but I do know when You lower the swing arm it will get in the way of theupper bolt shown in the pix. What You need to do is install the upper bolt first then drop the bike and install the lower bolt.

a F2 with a F2 shock cannot be lowered 3" with the linkage. you have to modify the swingarm linkage!
the company that i bought my link from specifically said in the instructions that you can only use the 1.5 hole on a F2. i can send you a pic of what you have to do to lower it 3"...

BUT if you lower it 3" you must lower the front 2.5" and you will bottom out the forks and your seals will last about 400 miles and every pothole you hit will put your fender into the front fairing.. and if you ride 2 up you WILL rub the tire on the subframe!
