Hi, my bike came lowered when I bought it. I'd like to see how I get on with the standard setup.
Anyone have them going spare? UK based.....

Cheers!

It's the same part on all years. 23P-2217M-00

On EbayUK - £40.00+£7.00 shipping gets you what you need and some extra bits. LINK

Or for ~£30.00 you can get a jack up kit, making turn in quicker, if that appeals to you. Puts the rear a touch higher than stock.

To add to what EricV says, beware the ES links are not the same as the non-ES.
I checked part numbers on 2012 & 2017, both models on the 2017. P/ns are the same as I listed above. Did I miss something?

I fitted some raising links to my bike and was sent items for a non ES. They didn't fit as the centre distances were different and the swing arm hit the pivot block. The company concluded after some communication that the centres were not the same on the two systems.

I see where I erred, I accidentally checked two color codes instead of the Std and ES. :oops:

Std bikes use PN - 23P-2217M-00

ES bikes use PN - 2KB-2217M-00

Thank you for pointing out my mistake tallpaul.

Cheers everyone, good tips ;-)
The ones fitted are Lust, guess i's a lowering kit from them. I don't want to go higher than standard, probably won't get me feet on the ground if I did!!

I'll check out the eBay link sent, thanks very much ;-)
