i purchased a vortex lowering link for my 06 r1 but the package says 04-05.. will this fit for the '06 as well? i'm just gonna drop my bike an inch and if its not enough i'm gonna have my seat shaved.

i would not shave the seat. just do the lowering thru the link and forks. i shaved my seat on the previous bike (04 f4i) and regretted it every day after. diabloo-->

not much room to shave on newer models. plus there not comfortable at all. im not fan of shaving seat either..but you gotta do what you gotta do!
