Radial Mount Front End Lowering Kit & Lowering Lin

   Hi

Ive just purchased the Brocks Front End Lowering Kit for my 08 ZX14, ive never used straps before and have a few questions to ask before using them, Ive looked through the forums , but could not find the answers 

1. Do you compress all the travel in your forks or leave a little bit of travel? 

2. Do you have to change the compression settings of your forks when strapping the front end? If they are set on Soft, im thinks when you rock the bike with the front brake on and pull the strap , it will be easier to lower it, than if it was hard, or does this not matter?

3. When the front end is lowered, is it ok to leave it strapped for the time your racing , or do you loosen the straps after each pass?

4. I received the rear lowering links with Roaring Toyz engraved on them , there is no installation guide that came with them, but on the Brocks website , under the product installation tab , there is nothing on there either, but they have the installation guide for a the Hayabusa, is it basically the same method for the ZX14?

Any Help to these questions would be great, 

Ratty

	rattyBB, 1. When at the drag strip you will pull strap tight so you have no front suspension travel, this helps keep the front wheel down. 2. No, you do not have to change front fork settings, front end will compress when strapped without adjustment. 3. Front end can stay strapped while drag racing, loosen strap and take out slack when riding on street. 4. Our 3 hole Busa links will install and adjust same as ZX-14 3 hole links.
