Lowering Links for the 250R ----I decided NOT to use these, My wife in more important....Got these off an E-Bay Store Seller,, there were listed as New Never Installed ,,, and well lets just say that after complaints it looks like he (they) will be making it right and having Roaring Toyz resend brand new ones to me. My question is,, would you all feel comfortable putting these on your bike? the holes look like they have been drilled out a little and they had obviously been installed at some point.

Looks like they were drilled out to accept larger bolts. Maybe they were used with an aftermarket shock and components.

No, I wouldn't use them.

Maybe never installed, but clearly altered. Good call not using them. I hope they do make it right for you.

Yeah, as above, I would never use those! There is not much meat between the holes as it is without drilling them out further!

Absolutely ask for a new set or your money back, as those are definitely not as advertised. Those were butchered.

If it were me and my bike, I would've used them, but definitely made a HUGE stink about it not being as described... Either a heavy discount, or an exchange for brand new ones.. You paid for new ones, you should receive new ones. However, I think from a safety standpoint there is still enough meat... HOWEVER,if the enlarged holes are big enough that it makes the links loose on the mounting bolts, I would NOT use them....
