How did the install go? Did you just have somebody to hold up the tail while you swaped out the links?
I'm going with different links as I found one locally. I thinking of installing it tomorrow with a help of a buddy.
Thanks!

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.

Unfurtunately I don't have a cherry picker. Damn, I hope my friend has enough strength.haha
Anything I should watch out for when lowering the triple on the forks?

well actually I used to tie downs and hooked them to a cherry picker to pick up the tail end. Than I just unbolted the three bolts off the part and switched it over. Pretty easy actually.

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
