I bought the lowering links from Lust Racing (£55) I'll see if I can get the link when I get home. I'm still learning about bike mechanics so I took the links and bike to Dunfermline motorcycles and they lowered the front forks and switched out the old dear links for new longer ones - think it was about £30 for that, not at home but I'm sure that right. So about £80 all in or if you know your way around the bike just £55 for the links.

It's been much better lowered, I'm only 5'3"(ish) and get it down an extra inch or two has made it way more manageable.

Thanks , did you need to get the stand lowered as well or is the bike stable enough ?

The bike mechanic was going to cut down the stand but as it was a K3 it had enough height that the stand was still really stable so he left it as it was. Originally it would have been cut and re-welded.
