The wife and I are giving serious consideration to getting her a Tenere. The big sticking point is the height of the bike. I see the adjustable Soupy's link would allow up to 3 inches of lowering. I saw where someone suggested this type of link may not be desirable on a Tenere. But I've not found any place where I can see that a stainless steel link like this has actually been a problem.
I have a couple of questions.
1) How far can our bikes be safely lowered. My wife would be riding nothing more hardcore than state maintained dirt roads and a skid plate would be installed. I do not anticipate any rocky trails on her bike.
2) Is there any reason that I should consider stainless and oxided steel adjustable links to be unsafe or even questionable?
