The Q&A on this Product
QUESTION: When the back is lowered (which I realize this is centered under the tool kit box) do you also need to lower the front forks for balance?
ANSWER: You will not need to lower the front end for balance. Lowering the rear end doesn't change the handling enough that you will notice the change.
Thank you,
Scott-GenMar
QUESTION: if the lowering kit is put on a intruder 1500 with a person weighing 260 on the front what is the max weight the person on the back can weigh befor the tire is to close to the inside of the fender to be safe, is it advisable?
ANSWER: The rear rider could weigh up to 250 lbs before the tire would rub the rear fender.
Thank you,

QUESTION: i have a 1993 gsxr 750 the previous owner raced the bike the the pick is very low at this time i would like to raise the rear od the bike to the hight of the 2005 and above what do i need and how can i get it
ANSWER: Hi,
Our S-125 kit lowers the rear end and doesn't raise it. The best way to put it back to stock is to take it to the shop and have them put the stock supspension linkages back on.

QUESTION: If you lower the bike's sunspention, do you acctualy reduce the swinging of the suspention?
I think I've seed that Suzuki's suspention walk is cca 115mm. If you lower it by 55mm. The rear tyre should bounce the fender, if suspention walk is not reduced? And if it is it affects the handling? or not?
ANSWER: Hi,
The lowering linkage does reduce the suspension travel in relation to the fender. It has only been a problem when heavier passengers are on the bike with the rider.

QUESTION: why is it called soft link ,what is the material made of ? and is it as strong as the stock dog bones?
ANSWER: Hi,
The S-125s are soft in name only. Soft-link is just a name we came up with because the linkages lower the rear end without any major modifications. They are actually made out of a hardened steel where the stock dog bones are aluminum.
