Lower your VN900 for ~$50 using OEM link arm

[ufodriver2]

Lower your VN 900 1” or 2” or 3” using the stock link arm.

Note and disclaimer: You will use your existing OEM link arm from your bike and modify it using a machine shops expertise. The machine shop will have to fill in the exiting holes of the link arm, add ½” of metal to extend the arm (Mine was TIG welded) then re-drill new holes at the proper distances per your desired lowering height. My cost was $45. Your cost may vary based on your negotiating skill and the machine shop.

{Please call around to make sure a qualified machine shop that can perform this work first prior to disassembling your bike}.

Perform at your own risk....This is what I did to my bike and it works perfect.

I must have missed this thread a couple of weeks ago. Great write up. Do you have any before and after pics of the bike?

Thanks

Sorry no real before and after pics....the pipes are Bubb Jug's and are loud. If you want loud I found these are loudest I've seen so far.

BTW - Scootworks has a how to lower using their lowering kit on thier web page too. It also mentions how to lower the front as well. Might want to check that out too.

so you need to lengthen the arm to lower the bike? i wondered if drilling a relocating hole next to the stock location to shorten it would lower the bike i guess i have it backwards.
