Billet aluminium West Tek lowering link for tubers.I picked it up from a guy who said he took it off an S3.He was 6'3" and didn't need it.It measures 7 1/2" from the top hole to the bottom hole.I don't know much about these but found this discussion: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/562486.html?1273708968
Mine doesn't look exactly like the one in the discussion.






Hopefully someone will chime in on how much it will lower an S3.
I would like $120 shipped.

I also have a steering damper.It looks like the Storz dampers I've seen.It will fit tuber inverted forks.I'd like $150 shipped.

I will take the steering damper on the assumption that it's not like one of the cheapies that re currently appearing on eBay!

I will PM you with shipping details. It will be overseas so we'll have to come to some arrangement.

Cheers

Michael,I don't know what brand it is as I inherited it with a bike I bought.But I just looked at ebay and it looks like the Storz dampers,not the others.But I can't say for certain it's a Storz.

OK - I've looked too and some of the fittings seem to indicate that it might be a Storz.

Just PMed you with my details

Matt,it will bolt up.I just don't know how much it will lower your bike.I was hoping someone with more knowledge would chime in.

Mike
I believe the West Tek front shock mount was only made for the WP shock and early Showa and will not work with the later shorter Showa. I believe it will lower the bike by 1-1.5 inches.
