This CBR500R lowering kit Lowers a CB500X a full 2", Improved handling, cornering and riding stance.
Great quality product. I needed to lower my girlfriends CB500X and the adjustable lowering kits I tried I didn't like the fitment or didn't trust them.
This kit is for a Honda CBR500R so I figured it would work on a CB500X and lower it more than the 1.125 inches it states when installed on a CBR500R and I was right!
This kit worked perfectly and lowered my girlfriends bike at the seat by a full 2 inches bringing the seat height to 30 inches or around 29.4 inches when sitting on it.
I feel it's handling, riding stance and cornering have improved a lot with this kit too.
My girlfriend is very happy with her new bike now that she can flat foot the bike at stops and agrees that it corners and rides better than before.
The quality allowed me to torque everything down to the factory 44 Nm easily so I know it's safe.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Be sure to pack grease into the needle bearings in the bone link and shock while you have everything apart because it's obvious that the factory didn't grease them. They were bone dry! I'd venture to say they wouldn't last 10k mi. before seizing up. All better now that they're packed with grease and will last a long time.
Why does this kit lower a CB500X more than a CBR500R you ask?..
From the factory a CBR500R sits lower than a CB500X. This is most likely due in part to the difference in the dimensions of the factory triangle links used on the bikes, so by using a lowering triangle link for a CBR500R in a CB500X you are raising the swing-arm even more than if you used one for a CB500X, thereby lowering the seat height of the bike, in this case by a full 2 inches... measured.
