So how do I get my hands on one of these brackets to give it a try? I have a 2012 Vaquero with progressive suspension shocks and still would like to lower it a bit more.

There may be a guy willing to jump in and make some.... I used to sell sets on ebay for him... He made lowering links for the Suzuki Volusia market. 1 1/2"-4" drop. He also made forward controls for them... back in 2003ish- around $50...

The lowering links for the Suzuki are not even testament consept for $50. These are not Just a flat link system.

Simply loosen the fork clamps and slide the fork tubes up in the clamps 5\8" and re torque bolts.

On your Voyager you'll have to remove each fork entirely first - to move the collar that holds the chrome fork in place down the tube 5/8". The measurement will be critical, since you don't want to end up with one side riding higher or lower than the other.

Sorry guys, have had several things comeup and haven't had opportunity to install yet. Hope to get that done either this weekend or next. Again, I will post before and after pics with a ride review.

Well folks, I got the links installed today and am very happy with them. Luverne Kawasaki sends good instructions and everything needed to install. You get to keep the stock air shocks and it seems to lower the rear abut an inch. Very happy about it and am looking forward to a longer ride. Winter storm headed this way right now so looks like it will be a couple weeks. Oh well. I will give a more thorough review after that.

Installed Links

Great Thanks goes out to Luverne Kawasaki. Easy install. Got about 3/4" drop out of it. With the seat modification, my total seat drop was 1 1/2".

OK for now.

Put my set on two weeks ago, 2011 Voyager. For sure comfortable being down a good 3/4", I have taken the bike out twice for 75 mile rides once alone the other time with the wife. Noticed immediately I had to give to get. Got closer to the ground but gave up a smooth ride. Hit any 1, 2 inch pot holes or slight road impressions an I am bottoming out on the shocks. Could be the shocks are shot? Has anyone else completed a good road test.

Installed Links

Took mine out for 30-35 miles. Hit a few bumps and such. Didn't notice any bottom out. Stopped and added 10 psi to the shocks. No change. Still have to ride 2 up to see if there is a difference in that.
