did you do a goole search on what the name on the part is?

IF you did you probably found out that they are aftermarket lowering links. How far out of the top triple clamp do your fork tubes stick out? 12mm? 1" 2"?

stock bars cover the top of the forks

As Alex kindly reminded me, the stock handlebars screw into the triple and prevent you from seeing how high they are, and might actually prevent someone from raising the forks in the first place.

I have clip on's and forgot this finer detail regarding stock bikes :doh:

In short, ignore what i said about forks. But i was thinking if someone lowered your bike, there would be a chance they raised the forks as well.

theres about 5mm clearance stock under the bars for the forks to move up

i think those vortex bones might have like 6 holes in them and i think one of them might be stock position
