Tail lifters

Post by dedsmith »

Has anyone installed tail lifters on your fzr? How do they change the handling? I'd also love some before and after (or at least after) pictures if you've got them.

They're called dogbones... a lot of us have had to use them at one time or another for different applications, such as a shock from a newer year bike that might be a tad bit taller.

The biggest issue of raising or lowering the bike is the stability when the bike is on the kickstand.

Thats what Im dealing with right now is the kickstand. I still need to lower the rear after doing the new shock and swinger.
