Fred and Kristen Adelman, Idaho Mountain Sports Store Designs New Rocker Link<br><br>Orofino, ID (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- Mountain Motor Sports owner
Dennis Browning had some trouble riding his performance Yamaha bike
when with his kids. The kids moved at a slower pace, so Browning's feet
needed to touch the ground more often. At 5'9", Browning had a
difficult time reaching the ground. He no longer has this problem.<br>
<br>
Browning and two Mountain Motor Sports technicians designed a modified
rocker link that lowers the seat height of a motorcycle 1.5 inches.
Sterling Machine of Lewiston, Idaho machines the links.<br>
<br>
Five links were made the first go around. Browning gave four of the
links to customers "who are a little on the short side" to try out and
give feedback. Browning put a link on his bike and started racing with
it to test for product durability. <br>
<br>
After testing, the only criticism was Browning's. "It lowered the
bike's clearance and thus made it more susceptible to high centering in
ruts. But that's not what we made it for. Even though it is made of T6
511 billet aluminum and is manufactured to withstand the rigors of
cross-country racing, it was developed for the trail rider who is a
little vertically challenged and wants to put a foot on the ground a
little easier. After all, when you're racing, if your feet are on the
ground, you're going too slow."<br>
<br>
Browning says he's had numerous other responses from people who are
using the link while racing who are doing well. They say that by having
the link on their bike, it has given them more confidence to go faster.
<br>
<br>
Mountain Motor Sports has been selling the link for just over a year and now has dealers around the world.<br>
