i'm running the muzzy 3-hole links on the second hole, but any of the 3-hole links will work. I would say that whatever your budget will allow will be your best bet. if you're broke like me... 3-hole links. if you've got the money... brocks adjustable links.

I have ran threaded links for over 10,000 miles, no problems!
If you install them right and make sure there is a 1/2 " of thread in each end( not over extended) then they are totally safe.
There are cheaper alternatives than Brocks, so you can do it right , but alot less money.
Brocks are the fanciest, easiest to adjust, but not necessary to have complete adjustability.
The great thing about threaded adjusters is you can adjust them without disconnecting or suspending the back half of the bike.
In fact I would feel confident to say the adjustable links are far safer than swingarm extensions... but thats another topic...
Anyway tthe threaded link have locknuts and will not loosed when locked properly, wheras swingarm extensions require regular scheduled prudent inspection, and tightening.
Good luck!

I just got the Brocks pin style adjustable lowing links, Quite salty at $300 bucks, but crack 2 allen head bolts loose on each link have someone grab the tail and pick slammed, middle, or stock, pull the pins and set where you want then tighten your allen head bolts back up!
