dog bones

[slayermd]

Where do I get these things for the FZR?!?!?!

I want to raise the back end an inch, will the YZF bones do that?

Also, will the bones of other bikes be ok for the FZR?

you will need shorter bones .. not sure if they will fit off othr brand bikes . but i know i need some shorter ones also ..and when u change them make sure the whole rear end is off the ground..being supported by frame rails or engine

i need to raise mine since i got yzf swingarm and wheel

I can make both of you some dogbones. They will be a very basic shape. Since my mill is kaput right now all I can really do is cut the aluminum to length and round the ends. I can drill some holes for some design aspect, but that's about it. They'll work and they'll be wicked light compared to the stockers. $35 shipped.

I can also do that, check the for sale forum for my dogbone thread for more info

how do i know if my bike has already been lowered? what is the ideal height adjustment that can be made w/o messing up how the bike was intentionally designed as? that being said, if my bike has not yet been lowered, who can help moi? kid? ^.^ is it better custom made? or purchased from some store or something? O.o

[haunter]

you can measure how long the dogbone on the bike is......if it stock...it hasnt been lowered

I could help ya lower it

[AraiPnai]

how long is stock? how do i measure it?

[haunter]

eye to eye from the bolt holes

ie measure from outside of bolt hole to outside, then inside to inside, split the diff!

Or just look at the side of the dogbone. It should have a 1WG stamped on it if it's stock. From there we can work out a trade. I know deputy wanted to raise his but someone sold him lowering links. I bet he'd sell those for the cost of some raised ones. Then everyone is happy.

actully, all Deputy has is 2 stock-length dogbones. One is stock steel the other is aluminum.

take a picture of your triple clamp (at ignition key and gauges area) so we can tell if your front has been lowered. If it has been the forks will stick up more than normal.

I had a friend who was an expert champion of CCS and WERA during most of the 1990's and early 2000's. He ran Formula 2 and some other classes. He mostly used an FZR400 that probably had about another $10,000 worth of refinements to engine and suspension. He left it at stock height, but because he was only around 5'-5" tall he had to tippy-toe all the time.

Guy could start in last place and halfway thru the race he was half a lap ahead of everyone. Of course the ideal for you is to NOT be "tippy-toe"

The dog bones I have are actually adjustable (two holes), with one setting being stock and the other lowering the tail.

Could you not measure top of one bolt to top of the other to give you the center to center measurement.
