[QUOTE="TooManyBikes, post: 1457616, member: 91287"] Had Soupy adjustable links on my 2012 FJR Blue Beauty. After installing them at stock length, I turned the turnbuckle two and four complete turns and measured the change in passenger foot peg height on both sides, while the bike was kept vertical. Result: The passenger foot pegs lowered 0.50 inches when the bolt holes were extended 0.31 inches (two turns) and 1.00 inches when the bolt holes were extended 0.63" (four turns). Yes, if the bike is lowered in back, it needs to have the triple clamp slide down on the fork tubes also so the steering geometry is not affected. And if the bike is lowered very much, life is much easier with a shorter side stand (stability) and a 2x4 under the rear tire when trying to place bike on center stand (sweat). [/QUOTE]
