Should I install a set of ProCycle lowering links?
Q:
I was curious about your 1" lowering links for the Suzuki DR650. What is the advantage of that over the lowering option on the DR's linkage? I have a 2009 DR650 and would like to improve my suspension. I have the Sargent low seat and with your low pegs it feels pretty good. Will do a bar riser kit soon also. I ride 80% on the street and although I can plant my feet, (not flat) at 5ยด 9" I am thinking about dropping it down for a lower CG and better cornering. Any tips? (Don't want to Supermoto it, because fire roads are still a blast.)
A:
We had so many requests for lowering links by folks who wanted something lower than the factory low setting, that we began making our own. This is most suitable for people who ride mostly on pavement or gravel. If you combine the links with a lowered shock and too little spring preload (too much sag) the tire can contact the inside of the fender.
