Looking at raising the rear end for a track bike/ race bike. Not serious racer, only dry weather, havn fun racer. Basically stockish bike striped down a bit. Ohlins rear shock stock length. Will look at stiffer front. still has sportsmart tyres on but look at better tyres if I have some success rather than falling off!
Just looking for opinions on good all round dry weather bone length. And maybe a source to get them. Stainless or ally. Not sure I would trust ally. Its something I could easily make myself but theyre not that expensive, so cant be bovered.
Opinions appreciated.

Re: Dog bone length
155s are about the max as the shock spring fouls the hole in the arm and shorter. Many folk opt for the 158s as a compromise...still give reasonable lift without being overly twitchy in a straight line
I do the stainless ones if you need any...brushed finish or simply plain sheet finish like they come from the cutters. i've sent a few to NZ in the past but postage is half the cost of the bones
. I can do them a little cheaper if you dont want to go via ebay but will be closing the listings in the morning as I wont have PC access for a week

Re: Dog bone length
What is your shipping to western Canada cost? 2 up riding on the already low rear end causes the low beam to be a high beam, I was going to drop the front a bit to compensate but that drops the whole situation closer to clearance issues I'm not liking that idea.

Re: Dog bone length
sorry for the late reply but been away on hols.
As said above 155s will give approx 2" of lift dependant on condition of shocker
