Most things can be fixed "stupid" is unfortunately beyond repair
Re: Shorten Dogbones
If you know what size you want and wish to stick with it, then I do stainless items. I can do any size you choose from high lift 155's to intermediate 158's or even standard heightbasstracker wrote:Has anybody shortened there dogbones? Good or bad
Not too sure where you are but theres a saving for forum members over the ebay price that i do when posted to the UK, and i'll post overseas at cost if required
If I dont stock the size I can get them done at a weeks turnaround assumng theres no problems at the cutters

Re: Shorten Dogbones
Yeah I ended up making them out of t6 aircraft aaluminum at .26mm or 1/4 inch thick width the length 155cm or 1550 mm from center to center of mounting holes raising my tail aprox 2"! Super cheap build and made a great difference falling into corners! Dont waist your money ordering them!

Re: Shorten Dogbones
Stigs dogbones are as good as you will get anywhere and they are less than £14.00 for a pair. Why bother purchasing the materials and machining them yourself.basstracker wrote:Yeah I ended up making them out of t6 aircraft aaluminum at .26mm or 1/4 inch thick width the length 155cm or 1550 mm from center to center of mounting holes raising my tail aprox 2"!

Re: Shorten Dogbones
Im just talkin trash, props to anybody with an FZR!
Re: Shorten Dogbones
Old topic i know but i've got 155mm dog bones on my 1000ru, the back end is about 40mm higher than standard and has sped up tip in and direction change no end!!
Best £13 i spent!!
P**s easy to fit and makes an instant change!
Only thing is the bike leans further on the side stand and if your legs are short it could be awkward but well worth it!!
