Default Alpha Racing light alloy pivot kit

Has anyone tried these yet? If so, did they improve the turn in of the bike?

I think that you will have improvement but the price for 2 pieces of aluminum is huge.I understand that there is some testing but the product is overpriced.

I'm suprised that nobody has done this mod.

Yes, it is very pricey for two small pieces of machined aluminum.

Very overpriced. My understanding was it helps with keeping the front down but cannot vouch for whether it works.

Call Lee's Cycle in San Diego CA. I believe they made a similar part in-house. Unsure of price.

I don't have official info on the product. I just know that about the time they were designing the suspension link, I also saw a prototype of the pivot as well. Here's their number. (858) 541-2080
