       Ya I just found it on Twins, OUCH! But It will go in the wish
       list. I think once I get other stuff paid down the Clack LHRB is
       my next big bite. I will be taking a ride this July but it's on
       my Harley. My little sister and I are going to do another 7K
       summer run to see family. She is like me loves to ride anytime
       any where. Then for me it's Kato and I off for some trail and
       camping.

       What about installing a shorter shock?

       Mine is used mostly for street, sometimes easy single-track,
       sometimes urban antics, like going up and down stairs.  I find
       the seat height awkward getting on, but once going, it's fine.
       So, if the lowering link merely changes leverage on the shock,
       and not seat height with no weight on the seat, my situation is
       not helped. What about installing a shorter shock?

       Be careful when tilting the tank up to get at the shock.  It's
       important to disconnect the quick disconnect fitting on the fuel
       line prior to lifting the tank up to vertical.  Otherwise it
       puts a lot of strain on the cheap plastic connector and many
       folks have had them break while doing this.
       I had SuperPlush take an inch out of the shock and forks and
       provide the proper springs.  They got the valving all wrong in
       the forks but that's another story. They also put on their
       stainless preload adjuster ring that makes it possible to adjust
       preload without galling the soft aluminum threads of the shock
       body. A local welder took an inch out of the sidestand and I
       added one of the KTM big foot accessories, and now I can raise
       and lower the kickstand while astride the bike.
