HK MOTO Billet Aluminum Lowering Links 7075

Description

Product Overview

The HK MOTO Lowering Links are precision‑engineered from 7075 aircraft‑grade billet aluminum, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Each link lowers the front suspension by exactly 1.0 inch, providing a more aggressive stance and improved handling dynamics. Compatible with 1998‑2003 YZF‑R1 and 1999‑2005 YZF‑R6 models, these links fit seamlessly into the factory mounting points, maintaining OEM geometry while delivering a custom appearance. The lightweight construction reduces unsprung mass, enhancing responsiveness on both street and track.
