The standard dog bones are 165mm between centres, so I made up some of 160 & 155 lengths to see what happened. The 160s raised the back end by about 25mm, whereas the 155s raised the back by about 40mm. But this didn't give me more leg room. Raising the seat height by adding more foam would do that.

But the bike handles better with the 160s fitted :nod:

As above, the 155's are the shortest bones with greatest lift without the shock fouling the hole in the swingarm

I can supply them in 6mm stainless at any length you want and at a bit cheaper than what I can do them for on ebay
