WTB, Gen1 raising links

[Judd]

As the title states, I would like to buy a set of 03-05 raising links. I don't know if the Gen2 links are the same but if they are, include the Gen2.

Have a look at this link:+25mm about one inch..:

Thanks. There is also a guy in Canada that sells raising links, just found him. The Canadian dude sells 5/8ths, 1.25 and 2 inch versions. I know the 2 inch is more than I want. I'm waffling between the 5/8ths and the 1.25 inch version. I've already raised the front and the tripple is flush with the top of the tubes. That was so long ago I can't remember just how much that raised the front, I'm thinking around .25-5 inch. I raised the front to pick up some ground clearance and I want to raise the rear to match and maybe get a bit quicker steering so I'm thinking the 1.25 lift would be best since the 5/8ths {.625 inch} would offer very little considering I've raised the front.

No, the Gen2 and later dog bone links are not the same length as Gen1's. Raising links for a Gen2 end up being lowering links for a Gen1. DAHMIKT.

First off, nominal fork leg height is with the end of the inner tube flush with the top of the triple clamp, so you've only raised the front height by a few mm's at most (just the thickness of the cap's edge). IOW you haven't changed it very much at all. OTOH, raising the rear end by 1.25" (32mm) will make a big difference in your steering quickness.

Alright, maybe the smaller .625 link would be best. What do y'all think? Maybe not enough of a different to notice and l should get the 1.25 link?

I've got a set of the 26-28 mm (suspension height rise) wild hair accessory dogbones sitting in a coffee can in the garage. Shoot me a PM with your address if interested.
