Skydog,

Did you have to widen the front-end 4"? I just added new rims that added 1" on each side. I am already fighting that going through the woods. I would like to lower the quad and agree that switchin the rear shock linkage is not the way to go. How is your shock travel now?

Any chance of getting some up close pictures posted (of your quad that is)?

If you don't mind, how exactly does it lower the bike? Does it effect travel or anything else?

Any info is appreciated
Paul

Yes, the headlights stay on,i just made the front wider because i wanted to you dont have to!For a web site i am not to sure,The travle of the shocks are not hurt for the front it just moves the mount up higher lowering the quad.For the back you take off the skid plate and it is the long stright link not the one some of you flip over the very bottom one.The aftermarket one pulls the shock back to lower it works very slick every turn with the wrench you see the quad drop!For pitures of my quad i dont have a sanner.(sorry)Well have a good night guys!
