Vaquero Lowering Link Kit

[talon]

Jared asked that I add this to the forum in case others were interested.

LuverneKaw started a link last year about a lowering link kit for the Vaquero. Just letting people know that they work well and give the bike a little better stance. Doesn't seem to interfere with cornering, at least not me. Others may ride more aggressive than I do LOL. They send easy to follow instructions and everything needed for install. Lowers the bike about an inch in the rear allowing you to keep your stock air shocks. Was only able to take it for a short 10 mile run down the road, but very pleased with the outcome. Sorry, I forgot to take before pictures. I remembered about the time I was putting the bags back on. LOL

Hey Ttrust32, yeah it took me a little longer to get around to installing them than I planned. But, hey they weren't going any where and I wanted to take my time. If I had known just how easy the install would be, I would have done it sooner. LOL

I also forgot to take pictures of the bike before the install. (I have a lot of pictures that I can compare it to later.) LOL. But the real difference is how it feels when I get on the bike; much better. Hard to believe something so simple helps that much, but it gives me a little more bend in the knee when at a stop; which makes it feel more stable. You still enjoying yours since you are the one that started it and have you compared your links to the final style that Luverne is doing? Rick said they didn't change them much.

Im glad they were easy to install, because the orig ones I made are not easy. I have compaired what they made and they are very simular. The ones I made may lower the rear a little more but not much. Best thing is they are prob alot safer then mine. I still like mine but as previously stated I lowered the front also and added the 21in wheel. Bike still ride as nice as the day I bought it. I just was over to visit Rick and had them add the PCV. To bad it is so cold here that I cant ride but seams like the bike runs better.

Like I said, I wish that I had measured before so I could really compare and let others know for sure. They say that it only lowers the rear about an inch, but it feels like a LITTLE more. All I can say is I like it.
