I ordered the same drop links as others on this forum. I figured this should last until I decide to go with a wider tire, then I will get the lowering kit. Anyway, very very easy install took about 30 minutes and I do love how the bike sits now.

Can't you back off your spring a bit? That would lower it a bit.

WLFPAK -- Sorry man, I am still running the factory tire. I have been thinking though, what is gonna happens when I do decide to get the new tire. I guess I am going to cross that bridge when I get to it. But if you do find anything out, post it up.

2"drop with dunlop 250 no problems belt guards fit only trimming the bottom one for the tire, back 3" of frame were ground down not 100% sure it was nessasary , rode some rought rodes today no rubbing issues , rides better sitting lower in the back , unless you have stock exaust I dont see any scraping issues my forward contols are moved forward 3" with no spacers.
This is with Baron dogbones not PCS but drop would be the same.
Tottaly happy with this mod performance and looks wise .

Thanks Clar, I am going to use the 240 when I change out only because i have a height deficiancy and the 250 would put me on my toes. I am feelling alot better about using the 240 with the PCS links after hearing the success you have had with the 250. Wondering if I will even need to perform the subframe mod for the 240? Will have to check that when i eventually get the tire.
