Front End Lowering Links
Has anyone tried the new front end lowering links from Schnitz Racing? If so, How is the handling with the front lowered 1 1/4" and the Muzzy lowering links set to 1 1/4" also. I'm trying to determine if the handling will be adversely affected by this change. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Red1

Lowering the bike makes it much harder to turn. Actually you could probably hang completely off the bike and it still wont turn. It would feel just like an old KZ...lol.
Unless the bike is going to be a purpose built dragracer.. dont bother with the lowering blocks.

Thanks TB!
I do most of my riding on the street and didn't want to make the change to the front end if it would affect handling on the street.
That's why I love this board..so much info and experience.

lowereing any bike any at all, ruins its handleing....if all you do is go fast in a straight line...have at it....just go really slow at the end of the straight.....

When in doubt, lean farther and go faster....
