So I finally got a lowering link on my XR...and I love it...  :ricky:

I can almost put my feet flat on the ground and it didnt take much off the ground clearance. Not that it would worry me much, cause thats what we have bashplates for. Ive never bottomed out in ground clearance and for in-case Ill just harden the rear shock a bit.
Dropped the forks a little bit, about 2cm to balance the change. At high speed +-150, it still feels shaky, which I found to be normal, but with the fork brace its still much better than when standard.
It feels much better in the dirt and gave me a tad more confidence.

I think I should now seriously lay off the customizing, this is becoming addictive and expensive.
