Muzzy lowering links
I just got done ordering a set of the Muzzys Lowering links. Who is running a set of Muzzy links set on the lowest setting? Also, do you guys just drop the front of the bike by sliding the triple tree down on the forks? If so, how much did you drop it in the front, and how much did it affect handling? Here I go with all of the damn questions again lol. Oh yeah, did it affect the ride quality much lowering it?

If you are stock wheelbase and not very heavy you can get away with riding in the lowest hole if you stiffen up the rear shock. yes, slide the forks up through the tripple. i have mine 1.5in, but thats not very practical if you ride the twisties, yes it affects handling a lot, but i am used to riding lowered bikes.

i went ahead and bought the Suspension limiter just in case. I don't really ride the twisties much... I'm more of a straight line kind of guy :P lol. I'm not a big guy by any means. I'm 5'10" 170 lbs, but i usually trim down to 155-160 for race season. I'm sure that like anything you get used to riding a lowered bike fairly quick. If i wanted anything other than a straight line missile that i could do mild touring on and be fairly comfortable riding to and from work on i would have bought a 1000.
