As long as you follow PC's instructions going to a stiffer spring rate, they're 100% worth it: More compliant through acceleration chop in the rear, better entry into turns, just a consistent and predictable feeling. Had AHM Factory Services spring/re-valve my stock 20' KX450 and was very happy with my ride before going to the linkage. AHM owner turned me on to the linkage and said it was worth trying as it would compliment his mods, and I couldn't be happier with my current set-up. Hard to find when they are in stock, but worth the wait and spring rate update to make it proper. Cheers

Thanks! That’s what I read on reviews online but wanted to hear that from a normal guy. I had to go down a spring rate for my weight so I have the stock spring just sitting around so i don’t have to buy one. But thank you for your feedback!

The Ride Eng link does the same, but much less $ than PC, I have one and confirm the same benefits as Crc45 says.

Cornering with a 22 mm offset triple clamps combined with pro circuit link the whole bike has a whole new attitude it's lower front and back and flat corners I no longer fear my front end pushing I actually felt confident that the front tire was getting traction I could lean it over further then what I was comfortable with before and I felt like I could change direction easily without the bike trying to counterbalance me and pull me up as I'm trying to lean over it definitely felt more accurate like a race bike should feel.. I'm definitely impressed so far.. definitely worth the money in my opinion definitely.. The 22mm offset triple clamps and the pro circuit link is a great combination for this bike I believe! 💯 17233344923097519878818134099859.jpg?VersionId=J1D2KVc iBRw6w505dNtzby
