So Cal Suspension Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 To do it properly, either get a new link like people are suggesting, or shorten your stock rear shock, which is actually the best way to do it. I don't do too much for flat track stuff, mainly because most of them just slap a lowering link on it, since they never jump. I would NEVER recommend jumping on any type of lowering link, whatsoever. I'm sure people do it and have been fine, but I couldn't say "do it" in good conscience. On +8's for drag bikes, I shorten the shock 3/4", then 1/2" for every 2 inches of swingarm length to keep the bike at "stock" ride height. Yes you lose some down travel, but on a drag bike, 99% of people don't care. TL;DR = If you're not going to jump whatsoever, run a different link of some kind. If you plan for your tires to leave the ground, shorten your shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I got the warrior link. I'm gonna throw it all together and take pics and measure. And compare to stock. This link technically should be as strong as the stock so it should be able to get jumped on. But we will see I'll take a lot of pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp2000 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Got any pics of the drop it have you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Alright stock link is 3 1/8 inch center to center. Warrior link is 4 1/4 center to center. Someone with a lowering link wanna measure it center to center so we can get a rough guess how much they lower the bike. I have my wheeler ripped all apart but this weekend I'll throw together a roller and mount them both for pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 The linkage has 4 settings Stock position. 1.5" drop 3" and 4.5. Yeah I mean like where the bushings go center to center. Measure those and we can see what the warrior link will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ah ok gotcha. My linkage is on my bike now and well see f I can make it home at a decent time and go measure it Cool. At least then people will know what a warrior link does for actual lowering. And I'll get pics this weekend of it mounted. Would be an awesome solution to lowering and should be just as strong as stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 So we're talking just the link or the dog bone it self or both from the warrior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Just the link. And it got really cold this weekend so i never threw together the roller. Hopefully next weekend things work out better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
