Every now and again I come across something pretty cool that I just have to share. I came across this new product over on the Schnitz Racing website while looking for items for the Hayabusa (what else?). It’s called the LinkPro but I call it the “save me a bunch of time shock tensioner thingy”. How many of you have ever had your bike fully adjusted for the track when your significant other says “Hey, let’s go for a ride tonight”. You dread having to get out all the tools and re-adjusting your bike just to ride a second passenger? Maybe you’ve been at the track and wanted to adjust your shock tension and didn’t have that special spanner wrench? Or maybe you’re like me and want the ability to fine tune your rear shock with out all the hassles in a matter of seconds. Well search no more I’ve just the ticket for you. I think this thing is the coolest and it gives me full control or my shock tension and ride height.

• Fully adjustable ratio to provide stiffer or softer than stock suspension.
  
  
• Fine tune weight transfer to rear wheel to accommodate rider weight, swingarm length, riding style, track conditions, etc.
  
  
• Will work with stock shock, no need to buy an expensive shock to get the weight transfer you need! Will also work great with an aftermarket shock.
  
  
• No more having to send out your shock to get it re-sprung when you make changes such as swingarm length, or when you want someone heavier or lighter to ride your bike that's set-up for your weight. Just adjust the LinkPro to suit the new weight or set-up environment and you're ready to race!
  
  
• Will significantly cut 60ft. times, especially for average riders.
  
  
• Keeps the bike lower and longer through the pass for better E.T.'s.
  
  
• For best results, use in conjunction with the fully adjustable lowering links to properly set ride height.
  
  
• Comes with bearings already installed. Customer uses stock spacers, washers, and bolts. (Spacer included for use with Busa)
  
  
• Will fit all new generation GSXR 600, 750, 1000 as well as Hayabusa.
  
  
• Made from 7075-T6 billet aluminum.

For you Kawasaki lovers, the Link Pro will be available for the ZX6, ZX10, and ZX12 VERY, VERY SOON!!!

The retail price is $349 and can be bought from Schnitz Racing, or directly from BilletProof Machining by calling 330-353-2182 or you can email at BilletProof@hotmail.com
