Probably about 15 years ago I put a set of lowering links on my KLR due to a hip injury where I needed both feet on the ground. As soon as I healed up enough, off they came. Fast forward 14 years! Still doing about 99% solo riding on the roads less traveled. Dropped the KLR on a little muddy gravel road last week, again. Main reason was slid the back around to far with the brake and my poor old tired leg just could not hold the lean angle so I stepped off and eased it to the ground. Now, to pick it up. Seems every year, it gets harder and harder for me to do this. I just bearly got it up this time. So, getting home, I made the decision to put the old links back on, if I could find them in my shop somewhere's. Did find, did install, even changed out the handlebars and broken clutch lever while working on the front to get the tubes up an inch. Feels kinda fu nny to have both feet on the ground again on this old bike. And, maybe, just maybe, it won't be down on the ground so often.
