your back link also looks very stock

overall I'm not sure the bike's lower. Measure the seat height standing straight and see if it's same as stock... also back seat height

I asked almost the same thing about a week ago. Heres a link to the thread. Theres some pics in the link in there of mine and my rear link which I was told was not the stock part, and it's for sure lower than yours. your bike really doesn't look all that low. ( https://cbrforum.com/m_543774/tm.htm) It's definitely different than the one you have. Try like ampfp said and mesure your seat height.

::Edit:: I just looked on bikez.com and it says the seat height for an 04' f4i is.... 805 mm (31.7 inches)
Hope that helps...

Man yours looks already raised compared to mine lol. I'm pretty sure yours is normal. Your shock linkage and shock also look stock so it shouldn't be lower than stock.

Does your kickstand lay flat on the ground or does some of it stick off the ground?
