Default anybody using cheap ebay lowering links?

I'm referring to these ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/cbr-F...spagenameZWDVW

How do you like it and how much did the middle setting(about 1.5" inch, according to the seller) actually lower the bike?

Actually I just ordered a set that looks almost exactly like that from a website. I will let you know how they are when I get them on.

Well my bro was talkin about lowering it and I have been ridin my buddies 900Ninja around that is lowered like 4 inches and I liked the way it fealt. I will still be stunting though. Im only lowering it like maybe 2 inches. Just to get the rear a little bit more even with the front.

And if i dont like it, its the adjustable kind so i can always set it back to the stock setting.

I consider stunting doing wheelies and endos. Stuff you see on a stunt video. And I dont know what an HB is so I couldnt tell you if i rock an HB or not.

the hb is for handbrake for the rear brake. i didnt know if you where gettin it up to the balancing point with that gearing. or just doing pow pow power wheelies. hence that is why you have the name squrriel

Oh yea, i get it right up to the balance point but i dont use the brakes at all I just let the power of the engine pull it back if I need to bring it down a little bit.

We put the lowering link on today, its nice, the bike takes off like a mother ****er now. We bent the plate the first time my brother did it because it just sank bank a bit on the tire and caught the plate. Wheelies are still easy though so its all good.
