When I had my 00 Buell Cyclone I bought a neat adjustable Drag Racing Strut that replaced the shock , Does anyone know who makes a Drag Strut for a 07 XB9R ?

When I use to drag race my old M2, I made my own from stock car aluminum tie rod tubes they come in different lengths and used spherical bearing rod ends. Had left and right hand threads so it made it easy to adjust the rear ride height.

When you put a strut on the rear, do you just strap down the front to match the height?

That's what i did, strapping the front down helped me way more than strut did.
