Just wanted to share an experience with Soupys Performance (http://www.soupysperformance.com/homepage.html) I had over the weekend.
Long story short: I rode 4.5 hour to Michigan to get a custom lowering link built by Mike Brandt at Soupys Performance. This was my first time riding in medium to heavy rainfall and was certainly an experience to remember. Got to my destination at about 8:45AM and Mike was able to custom build a lowering link for my bike by 3:15PM. Mike also went as far as lowering the front and installing his adjustable kickstand onto my bike. The look and feel of the bike was definitely confidence inspiring. Using my bike to model the prototype version, I received the lowering link, kickstand, installation and front drops without charge.
I rode back in heavy rainfall through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and back into Wisconsin. I was pleasantly surprise at how relatively dried I stay during the entire 9 hours trip to and back in the rainfall.
If anyone is looking to drop his/her 09 Ninja by an inch, Soupys Performance now has an option for you. There is one other company out there that sells a 3 inch drop link but you'll want to avoid that. I had it installed on my bike before Mike installed his and the 3 inch drop was overkill even for my 28 inch inseam.
Thought I share my weekend road trip. Safe ride everyone.
