1700 Vulcan Rear Suspension Lowering Link

It's been awhile since I've posted anything about our Vaquero / Voyager Lowering Links so just posting an update. We are completing another manufacturing run of them tomorrow. They are being sold with overwhelming positive response. If you want to lower the seat height of your Vaquero or Voyager this is THE best, easiest and least expensive option out there for you.
Thank you to all who have purchased so far. We sincerely appreciate your business and support.
For questions or purchase call Rick @ Luverne Kawasaki, 507-283-1800.

Lowering kit.

Does it lower the frame or just the seat height? I already have some trouble when pulling up on a trailer with the frame rubbing a bit.

Greetings,

Just installed this kit on the bride's ride. Quality fit and finish parts. Instructions are pretty clear. Had to re-read one or two steps a couple of times. (Or maybe that is just my age!)...

JayC - to answer your question, it basically lowers rear shock mount. The kit would change the height of the hitch. So the top of the rear fender would be a bit closer to the top of the tire.

Ride safe,
Smokier

Sorry for the confusion, I don't tow a trailer. When I ride up on to my trailer, the frame drags a bit. Not so bad if I put some boards under the ramp to decrease the angle of the ramp.

Greetings,

Ahh, that does make more sense. Sorry, I misunderstood.
The bride does like the new height though...

Ride safe,
SMokier

We are kicking the rear shock mount to the rear of the bike. This increases the shock angle, which in turn lowers the seat height. It will also lower the frame rails. You'd need thicker boards or a longer ramp. Any questions, feel free to give us a call.
Thanks
