Lowering Link - Where to buy

[samm3d]

Just bought my 2009 696 in Red. I am only 5'1", so i need to lower it a bit. Anyone know where i can order one? Can't find it anywhere. Lower the better.

All the "lowered" seat are wider, so that won't really help. My boots have a 3" lift in the, that helps to an extent. The dealer (duc pond in VA) said I could get a softer spring for my weight. The stock spring is for a 180 lb person. I am only 110 lbs. Where can i get one of those?

bought it from a dealer? wonder if you just ask them to set up the suspension (front and rear) for YOU...worth a try.

If you're talking about the lower rear clevis, the 696 already has it.  A standard mod is to get the 796/1100 rear clevis to raise the 696 or a fit a 696 one to the 796/1100 to lower it.   you should check in the monster women subforum on this board, there are several threads in there that have suggestions on how to lower your bike.

First step is to get sag set if you are a light weight.  If that doesn't do it find a local moto seat guy and cut some foam out of the seat.
