I'm to lazy to check the archives, what do the lowering links do ? Lower the rear wheel travel? My better half is sold on the KLR, but being 5'2" she cannot touch the ground when on the bike.Would the links be of any help for her ? Thanks to all that gave me feed back on the V-Strom . ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
