I have the e-bay 1" lowering links and they are a great fit/finish and helped me immensely in tricky situations where I HAD to get a foot down firmly. Don't forget, that whichever way you go you should adjust the fork tubes accordingly to keep the correct geometry. I only slid the forks up in the tree 5/8" though because any more than that and the top clamp is going to be pinching on a taper.

 

well i wasnt planning on anything. I was just kinda wondering what people thought?
and if its a good mod or not

 

Lowered the bike with Ebay links 1 inch. Love the hieght change for my small from makes it easy in technical rocky terrain for a quick dab.

Its not all peaches and cream however. i found the additional leverage the links put on the shock spring have made the Spring too soft...and I'm only 140 pounds. Its bottoming and wallowing a bit and thats not even in 3 foot sand whoops but ruts I don't even consider large hits. I've raised the forks to different levelsin the tubes but for some reason its losing bite on the front end. Definitely not a great tradeoff if you ride the bike aggresively. If its casual trail riding no problem. but if you're used to a well set -up bike (I used to race CR 250's) you may not be pleased with the tradeoff that it places on the handling. i am also dragging the cases in ruts.

I'm going to switch back to the stock links and see if I regain the handling. However at 5'5" I appreciate the benefits of a dab to keep the bike upright in technical situations.

 

I bought links to lower it 1.5" but haven't installed them yet. Ftb, do you still have the 603 on the front. Just wondering because if you replaced that pos and it still washes out I may be a little hesitant to install the links.
