          I know some people use adjustable lowering links. but if the po used non adjusable links then you'll need to find stock. I would send ya the set off my parts bike, but they are non adjustable 2" drop as well

                What's wrong with being short?

                    I msged him and he said he wasn't doing them anymore. Don't recall if he wasn't doing them entirely or just for the pre's
                    I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

                        Lowering suggestion

                        Being short of inseam, I've lowered many a bike and the best way is to put spacers under the fork damping spring tubes. It looks original and works super perfectly. Dog bones for the rear. A 1- 1.5" drop equal at both ends won't upset handling. If anyone needs a tutorial on the prcedure let me know. Repalcing the fork seals makes the effort all the more woth while.

                          Not that I am interested (I'd rather raise my tail end), but you could always write a 'how to' and put it in the how to section.

                            Not sure what you mean but I can't think of how that would work on a Kat..

                              if anyone has a decent solution to drop a 97 kat please let me know...post's are easier to find. It'll be the 2nd year that my gf won't ride her bike if I can't find a solution
