You wouldn't need to. Since the dogbones only unscrew from one direction there is no way for them to turn while they are on the bike.ratbikesforever wrote:Reelrazor I was wondering why you did not use thin jamnuts against the large nut welded on these dogbones ?

I was on tip-toe to reach the ground with both feet on my CBR600 of the same year but I sit on this thing like it's a park bench. Maybe I should check if a PO lowered it.

Es famosa la anécdota hace ya muchos años, que el piloto probador de la Benelli Jarno de 125 cc casi se mató en la prueba para una revista al romperse una bieleta de esa parte del chasis, o sea que....Si yo me quisiera hacer algo regulable haría los extremos con bieletas articuladas macho roscadas de 10 mm y unidas a un tubo roscado en ambos extremos a 10 m.m. pero NO un tubo cualquiera sino tubo de acero si puede ser de cromo molibdeno, con lo cual girando el tubo y luego bloqueando con dos tuercas a cada lado del tubo obtienes la altura deseada. Me horrorizo sólo de pensar que se pueda romper esa pieza en marcha.
