As in drop do you mean the 1 peice ones or the fancy folding ones?
For single one make them yourself, there are heaps of pics scattered around here for the fancy ones they are extremly expensive and making your own is a bit dodgy unless u have exact specs and are good at welding the tabs on that support all the weight etc..

mate i designed and have been running my own for ages now (almost 3 yrs!) - you can download the cut file for laser cutter on suzukiinfo.com =)
dont know if theyre a worthwhile mod though - it seems when they droop they just look cool, but theres no huge weight on that wheel for it to really get traction - well, i found anyway.

Poseing is what suzi's do best isnt it?
what was involved in your shakels? other than cuting them out and putting them on?

a little extra droop might stop u from flopping over
its not always to get traction

A little un-forced droop might help you roll too
