Revolutionize Your Yamaha Roadstar Experience with These Adjustable CNC Aluminum Lowering Links

I recently got my hands on these Lowering Links for my 2009 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Silverado and I must say that they have completely transformed my riding experience. The CNC Aluminium material of the product is not only sturdy and durable but also lightweight which has substantially improved my handling of the bike. The lower links come in a standard size that can be adjusted depending on your preference. I have managed to reduce the height of my bike by 1.5 inches which has made it more comfortable for me to ride. The reduced height has also allowed me to reach the ground more easily, which is incredibly helpful for shorter riders like myself. The installation process was straightforward. The whole process took less than an hour, and I didn't need any technical assistance. The fit was perfect for my 2009 Yamaha Roadstar Midnight Silverado model and there were no compatibility issues. The finish of the product is also top-notch as it doesn't easily scratch or fade. It still looks as good as new. However, the product is not without its faults. First, the price is a bit steep, but this is something to be expected for any high-quality product. Second, the kit does not come with any instructions, so installation can be a bit tricky for someone who doesn't have any experience of installing bike parts before. Overall, I am pleased with the product, and for its performance, It definitely deserves a spot in my top recommended lowering links for Yamaha Roadstar series owners.

Pros
  • Improved stability: Lowering the height of your motorcycle can improve stability, making it easier to maneuver and handle on the road
Cons
  • Lowering links can put more strain on your bike's drivetrain and frame, potentially causing long-term damage and costly repairs
