So as for the lower link I made for lowering the 2021 RX4 the original link was 4-7/8" between centers on the bolt holes.
the one I made up wound up being 5-1/2" between centers...
a small difference of only 5/8" but enough to drop it 2-1/2"
.....
I didn't stay at the low height however as the tire was too close to the fender well on the rear... so I brought down the pre-load nuts to raise the bike back up a little.
the seat height now sits at exactly 30" uncompressed and as we all know the bike doesn't compress much when you sit on it ( biggest flaw of the RX4 in my opinion)
even with the lighter 400~450 lb spring in the rear it still doesn't compress !
so that is a 5/8" difference in size for the lower link.
.....
I hope this helps someone lower their RX4 as it needs it !
.....
lowering the front forks is easy once you get the handle bars out of the way....
you just slide them up in the tripple trees , make dead sure they are at the same height and then lock them down with their clamp bolts.
....
the handling is exactly the same as the day I got it as far as I can tell....it still likes to corner well.... LOL.
....
later All....
