I ride 1" lowered, but my plate is way further out from under my fender.

Pretty sure if you move that out it'll make it even lower. It's a whole triangular geometry thing.

EDIT: Just double checked. The longer the link, the lower the bike (like I said, triangular geometry. If you stare at the bike hard enough, long enough, you'll realize just how a lowering link works. Took me days). You probably have a 1" / 3" link (inner hole lowers it 1", outer hole lowers it 3"). If it's set to 1" now, that might be as high as that link'll go.

Right I get all of that.. but measuring from the center of the top hole to the center of the bottom hole its 8 inches you said stock was 7 3/8 hole to hole.. so its pretty close to stock yes?

If it has more than 1 hole on one end it is aftermarket. Many of the lowering links I've seen don't really have a stock height setting. Best bet would be to grab a pair of stock ones used IMO.

There's directly proprortional math involved, I think. I think it's something to the effect of 1/2" longer = 1" drop... so if yours is about 3/4" longer you may be lowered almost 2".
