Adjusting Muzzy Lowering Links
What is the best/quickest way to change holes on Muzzy's lowering links ? Second person, front stand, rear stand...?
Thanks,

Bike on rear stand. Jack under oil pan (with wood block in between jack and pan to keep from scratching the pan). No second person necessary.

bike on rear stand.....2x4 under passenger footpegs....supported by whatever (I use cinderblocks and jackstands)....remove rear stand...wheel shouldnt hit the ground.
remote bottom bolt (hope you put it in backwards)....move wheel up (I use a car tire ramp for this) to desired height...install bolt in bottom hole.

By the way, depending on the type of rear stand you have, you may need to tie-wrap the stand to the bike so that it doesn't tip over. Just take it slow.

Not solved completely. You still need to prop the bike up to remove them.

I didn't mean remove the threaded links. I meant that you still have the same problem when you have to remove the stock dogbones to install the threaded links. Yeah, I know it's only a one-time thing, but if you don't know how to do it, it's still a problem.
