Need help identifying a part...

[Cameron]

I looked around for a "Identify This" sticky but didnt see one so forgive me if there is but i am trying to figure out what brand rear suspension link i have on my bike. I know that the front of my bike is lowered and i dont care for all that stupidness so i was thinking "hmm if my fronts lowered i wonder if the rear is so i looked at the rear link and saw that there was what looked like an adjustable link and i had a little lightening bolt on it. Maybe you can help identify the brand by that.

I am new to bikes and their aftermarket parts so go easy on me...

here is a picture.

Those are 1" and 3" lowering holes.. you're in the 1"

thanks a lot man. how hard is it/how much is it to get factory links cause like i said i am new to riding and have no desire for a lowered bike i want stock suspension geometry..

Can order you a new one OEM first thing in the morning or I can call my list of breaker yards I trust for a used... what exactly is it and what year?

So basically according to that parts diagram its gonna run me about 200 bucks after taxes plus shipping for the stock arm and the relay arm? Huey what type of deal can you get me on that? it is for a 2003 Yamaha R1..

By the way thanks so much for the help guys. I like this forum already, seems to be a lot of maturity on here. Coming from my other forums 240atlanta (what a joke) and importatlanta (gone to shit) i love this forum so far.
