thanks for the link.... ::)

just a heads up, iM linking this is the photo they have for the C14 link set.... don't get me wrong, but take a close look....


it's photos like that, from folks selling stuff online, that really make me ask if they have a clue....kinda like the Muzzy links, and the fact they advertise on thier website showing a C14, with the bags installed BACKWARDS...... ::) ::)

Hey mob can you tell me whats wrong in the photo as im a dip s*** with no clue, is it on backwards or something? i do see a bolt missing and one thats sticking halfway out but i dont no anything about the lowering links so fill me in. i'm really thinking about getting both the lowering link and side stand for my zg1000, i have always wanted to lower my bike at lest 1 inch since i have to tip tow every time i stop.

Does anyone have any experience with Soupy's lowering links C-10 or others? I'm looking to lower 98 C-10 and emailed Norm and he has 1.5 inch with new bearings installed for $200.00. Other than being adjustable does anyone have a preference and why.
Just looking to do it right the first time and the more minds working the pros and cons come out.

Norm manufactures a completly new "rocker", with a relocated hole, and you use the OEM installed links that came on the bike in conjunction with his replacement part.  He doesn't sell "links" like the other companies sell. His product is a good one, I examined his stuff when he first made the parts.

Norm mailed out my lowering link today.  Looking forward to being able to touch the ground flat footed.   ;D

Any tips for installing it?
Anything else I should do or look at while I am doing it?
Thanks.
