WTB: Pregen Ninja 250 Lowering Links / dogbones
My wife just got a 2005 Ninja this weekend after taking her MSF class last week. Unfortunately the bike is still on the taller side for her and she ends up on her toes. Enough people have told us both she'll get used to it but we'd both rather her have a bit more control and be able to get her feet more on the ground.
Anyone happen to have a spare set of lowering links for this bike? They seem to not be made any more since I can't find them on pretty much any parts site. |

Any idea if the newgen stuff will work? I have a set of lowering links off an 09.

I didn’t get an answer. We ended up not lowering and instead scooped out the seat mostly. That gave about one extra inch closer to the ground which she was happy with.
