Not a bad product.
A little difficult to handle due to its low position. View detail
Slightly difficult to install, but functions well
Helmet holder for retrofit type.
Demerit is that it doesn't come with a key from the beginning like Kawasaki does these days...
It is 100 times better than hooking up to a Tandem seat.
Functionality is adequate.
There is a slight problem with the installation, because the Bolt that holds the Plate is close to the body of the car,
In a normal hexagonal Wrench, Quantity:Only 1 pc out of 2 pcs could be tightened.
I think it can be tightened by Offset wrench etc. because there was a gap of about 20mm when I temporarily tightened it by hand.
Also of note, this Helmet holder uses the Bolt hole on the back of the Tandem Footpeg.
Since these are probably bolt holes for installation of OEM SoftSide case brackets, it is necessary to confirm whether they can be used together or not.

METAL…GEAR…
It was my first time to know about this Manufacturer, so I bought it in the spirit of Challenge.
Well, to be frank, it was cheaper than other Manufacturers. (Lol)
Was the one you received as per Image?
Expected
Was the installation difficult?
It was totally Large sturdy.
[Included Parts:were they on?
OEM Gasket was in the box. I'm happy about this.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Instruction manual is not included. Therefore, I did not know the order of packing etc. between exhaust system and bolt nut which is put on the body, so I installed it properly.
The installation point and hang/ It's a pain in the ass, but it's easy except for removing the side cowl and O2 Sensor ….
Availability and comprehensibility of Instruction Manual/No Instruction Manual If you are not sure whether you can install it by yourself, you can install it at the Shop.
Note/Expectation HaGap's comment on the order of installation of Packingetc.
Useful items that should be purchased together/Spring hook
Opinions and requests to Manufacturer/maybe the same for other Parts? "Instruction Manual should be included".

A little too short?
Since the Lowdown Kit was installed at the same time as the car was delivered, the car body was standing up, so we had to be careful where we parked the car and sometimes could not pay the side stand depending on the road surface conditions. After the replacement, it leans quite a bit and I have a sense of security, but if it were 10mm longer, it would lean too much. View detail

Improved footing!
Being 160cm tall, I have long been concerned about my footing in Lowdown.
Footing improved!
The Short Side Stand is much shorter than OEM, and it will take some time to get used to that.

Fender processing required
The high Seat height makes this equipment necessary for small-sized people to ride.
The Swing Arm is shifted to a lower position, which changes the ride quality.
Fender modification is required, so it takes a certain amount of skill to do it as a DIY project.
We recommend replacing the Side Stand with a shorter one.

Correction to impresario.
As I mentioned in my comment, I measured the actual Stroke of the suspension, and it seems that there is no interference between the bottom case side and the fork bracket up to 30mm of protrusion. View detail
I wonder if the developer has checked the installation on a real car.
I bought the 30mm Down, but I think the 20mm Down is safer.
The Instruction Manual says to adjust the Fork protrusion between 20-30mm, but when the Front is jacked up in NORMAL condition, the distance between the Dust Seal upper surface and the Fork lower bracket is only about 143mm, so if the Front Suspension is jacked up to 120mm Full stroke as specified in the manufacturer specifications, the Oil Seal will hit the lower Fork bracket at Full Bottom when the Front Suspension is jacked up 30mm. If the front suspension has a 120mm full stroke as specified by the manufacturer, the oil seal will hit the lower fork bracket at the full bottom with 30mm protrusion. (I think the limit of the amount of protrusion not to hit is 23mm, and the safety zone is about 20mm. 。
The Rear Fender has also changed its shape from the Gixxer, and the same machining as the Gixxer described in the Instruction Manual will not work.

Glad I did it. (^^)
In my case, it wasn't as large as the "large" effect, but I did feel that it was lower than before. I felt more secure with a little more area for my feet to stick to. I was able to find a shop that could install it from Webig, and the shop was very responsive from the estimate to the installation! I am very happy with Lowdown! (^^) View detail
Don't ask too much of the 250 Slip-on Silencer.
Power seems to have somehow increased. It may be because it became lighter. By the way, the acceleration power from the 6th gear of 30 km was improved. Because it became lighter, it became a little easier to put the car in bed. The price is cheap, and if it is design-oriented, it is possible. However, the height of the exhaust system was not exactly right, as you can see in the advertisement photo. I guess we have to compromise as much as we can. There is a little exhaust leakage from the gap where the Silencer is wrapped with Stainless Steel. I am thinking of filling it with liquid Gasket. View detail

Recommended for those who prefer a noisy exhaust sound.
I purchased a New Model catalyst equipped MODEL in December 2022. I bought a new model model with catalytic converter in December 2022, but no external exhaust system was available. I found METAL GEAR and decided to buy it immediately. I decided immediately. However, I heard that it is compatible up to the previous model. The body structure is exactly the same, so I asked if it was possible to assemble it.
The bag footpeg plate is easy to install.:2pc. The Exhaust System was installed with a needle Gold Hanger. I was able to install it with a needle Gold Hanger.
The exhaust noise is loud, but quieter than the loud noise of a 400 or 1000. I feel sorry for the neighbors early in the morning and at night.
The Torque feel at low to mid speeds has improved to the point where it can be felt.
I don't know about high speed, maybe it hasn't changed? In one section, it was 10km/h faster than NORMAL.
After Fire.

Is it too low?
Things are fine, the 35mm drops more than I expected.
Rear Sets are always required. Even so, the brake pedal hits the ground as hard as it can when the motorcycle is tipped over and turns while dragging the rear brake.

I'm not sure if it needs some work to be installed. I'm not sure if it's an individual thing or not, but it's a very nice bass sound from low speed that I was expecting. View detail
