Our CBR500R (2013-2018) turnbuckle style lowering link will adjust the rear of the bike infinitely between stock height and a 4 inch drop. No need to remove the link from the bike...just loosen the nuts and rotate the center hex body. You do not need to remove bolts and find a way to hold the bike up while you are doing it! The center hex body is silver zinc plated steel or stainless steel, NOT aluminum. The ends are steel, have a 1/2" thread and are zinc plated steel for strength and corrosion resistance. There are also 4 inserts that make up the difference in the diameter and length of the stock bearing setup. THIS IS A DIRECT BOLT-ON ITEM! The ball bearing is hardened steel with a Teflon race. Aluminum threads DO NOT last and are dangerous!

Keep in mind that motorcycles lowered 1 inch or more should utilize our adjustable kickstand to maintain the required lean angle when parked. Combo kits are available at a discounted price. Click here for our Adjustable Kickstands.
