Are these links alum? I'm not a fan of substituting alum for steel for suspension dogbones due to strength and fatigue issues. And this is not an area to be fooling around.... I have a friend who is now walking around (barely) with seven fused vertebra due to dogbone failure.

If they're steel, all is good.

From the MotorradWorks website:
"Manufactured from high tensile alloy steel by Motorrad Works,these links will lower the rear of your XT1200Z Super Tenere by 25mm.Simply raise the forks through the triple clamp to balance the bike to your requirements"

Correct...

By the look of the photo above, someone needs a public flogging.

I could not imagine anyone worth their soul would manufacture such a high stressed component from aluminium.

Alum dogbones are sold fairly commonly on Ebay for all sorts of bikes and many feel they're "plenty strong enough". I'm the resident worry-wart about things like this, so I usually stick my $0.02 in to warn folks that they're substituting a weaker part. Glad to see you're selling the steel ones.

Hey zmann, how is the bike on the center stand after installing the raising link?

Hey zmann, how is the bike on the center stand after installing the raising link?

See what Zman has to say, but I believe it's actually easier to get on the centre stand after the stand extensions are welded on.
The bike actually sits a bit more upright on the side stand as well, which it needed as they laid over a bit far IMO.

yes as greg say and even with both pannier load up it's easier to put on center stand.
as for side stand the bike is a bit upright when load up so i reduce it around 1cm when cutting the side stand.
