[5point0guy]

Don't you love it when the answer can be so simple. Don't get many yes or no questions on here.

it rides like a tank...forks have almost no travel...looks kinda cool but completly wothless

Um, before you buy new links... post pictures of the links you have. Most of the fixed position lowering links have 3 slots, one of which is normal height.


This could be as easy as just move the links to the right bolt hole.

theres 2 holes......the hole closest to the ground is open

That would be raising the height, moving the bolt longer in the link.

Don't know if the bottom setting is going to be stock height, but yes... the longer the link, the higher the bike will sit.

Hey its ok.

[Kreylyn]

Hey its ok.

Slept on it.


Thinking about it now, those are probably 2 position 2" and 4" lowering links. Is there not room for adding a hole above the other 2? That would be a simple way to make it stock height.
