Sorry, i didn't think about the year. Mine is an 06.

 

Thanks everyone for all your help. I can see its about 5mm = 3/4" drop. I will make some up and give it a try.

 

Had a chance to see and measure the following for a 2006


Stock 117 mm

#3 124 mm

#4 130 mm

 

Ok, got my dog bones made up. One at 125mm centers and the other 130mm centers. They are 2" wide stock, that's all they had. I will have to check for interferences. Im just going to used them to see what size I need and then I will order a set of aluminum ones. I will update how they work out when I get a chance to try them out.

 

if you already made them with steel..might as well just use them....stronger than aluminum...

 

I might use them. I have to make sure they aren't too wide. And also I wouldn't want them to rust. So we will see.

 

I bought my 07 KLX last fall as a non-runner basket case. At 5'7" I could barely swing my leg over the thing, so knew some lowering was in order!
I rebuilt my lower suspension linkage utilizing some 119.5 links from a 2009 KLX I had picked up off ehay. I was hoping that 2.5mm longer link would drop it at least an inch, at least that is what I read on some other forum. It dropped it a bit, but not nearly enough. I am guessing less than 1/2". Not enough.
So I ordered a set of 1-1/2" lowering links today. About $29 total. Anxiously awaiting delivery. I spent all winter re-building this bad boy bare frame/motor to finish, have never even ridden it yet. Getting awul itchy!

 

Let me know how you make out. Thanks

 

Mine are made of cold rolled mild steel. I used them unpainted for over a year, and they were fine until I went down a gravel road that had just been sprayed with calcium chloride. Everything on my bike started rusting after that.
I have found spray on bedliner to be quite good for applications like that.

 

I just got my 1.5" lowing links for my 2009 KLX250S.
119.5mm = Stock
131mm = -1.5"



I'll measure the bike before and after to confirm.
