Default Lowering Strap .... HELP!!

Wasn't sure where to post this, figured here would work.

Okay, so I just bought a strap to lower my front end for drag racing, so I don't wheelie. This is my first time trying this, and I wanted to see where is the best place to hook up the strap.Is the bolt circled below thebest? What's worked for you guys?

You use the one on top. I had to use a longer bolt for my brake bracket.

I have a 03 CBR600F4i. I ended up doing just what bindel showed in the picture. Everything worked great, now I just need to work on switching gears quicker and getting the most out of each gear.
Thanks.

Well Bindel? Hows that intresting combo running?[sm=nxsmile.gif] I used to have an old 893. Ran good but I didn't really know much about dragracing back then. By the way, mad props on keeping it stock legenth. I don't think there's a need to stretch untill your at least past 200 horse.
