Baines Link

Just fitted new rear link plates on the bike and what a difference, its like a new bike. Turns in quicker, front end does't become unsettled by bumps in mid corner

. Best £26.00 ive spent in ages (and £6.50 of that was p+p)

What difference to the seat height Richie?
I guess i got used to the corner-bobbles

Bought similar plates about a year ago and totally agree that they transform the handling for the better. Cagiva cottoned on last year - the 04 Raptor models have the geometry as standard. X Raptor had it anyway but with a steering damper. I haven't found the need to fit a steering damper myself although the front end is a little twitchier when pushed hard.

Seat height rises by about 50mm over the axle with the plates fitted.
