Lowering the vstrom

Finally had the time to install the lowering links on my bike!

No need for a centerstand when you have tiedowns, a truck bumper, and a jack!

14MM wrench safety wired to the bolts so I could remove the nuts holding the old links on.

C.S.I these and you'll find evidence of knuckle blood and feces.


Stock dogbones

New links be a bit longer, 148mm on center.

The longer links will lower the rear 7/8"


Lowered the front end approx 3/4"

Next I need to swap out the 15t front sprocket with a 17t.

    1. Handles the same, or I don't notice the difference in the lowered front end. With the back I can now almost flatfoot it
