Its a bit of a minefield it seems....
At least with shorter links you can swap them out fairly easily. Its a shame as it definitely handles better otherwise and I like sitting higher up. I did a 600mile round trip with luggage and a pillion and it was positively a pleasure to ride.
Maybe I'll test the waters in the for sale section to see if anybody heavier than me would be interested as I think it'd work pretty well if you're not a weeny like me. Its the oem shock rebuilt with the lower collar flipped upside down resulting in no more than 5mm increased length.
The thing that baffles me is that it's not even a major lift. I'm a short arse and even had my seat lowered previously and although I can feel a rise I can still get both feet down so it can't be that much of a difference.
Amazing what a few mm difference can do.
