Dogbones

I need some advice on dogbones for my '99 sv650s.

My bike had a lady owner beforehand, and she had lowered the bike with longer dogbones. They gave the standard ones as well, which i imagine is shorter.

I need to know if the standard dogbones will raise the back end up. Im a 6ft3" bloke weighing in at almost 19st, riding round on a lowered SV. HELP!

Standard height will be fine? Or should i even raise it??

Advice please!

Standard will raise the rear back up to OEM spec, you can jack it up further with bones from here if you wish.

Thanks a ton dave!

JHS said £44 for their own ones. Rather pricey compared to those then.

Again, thanks for teh info!

JHS's raise the rear a little more I believe, Dangerous Dave will know for sure. As you are tall rearsets may be an idea as this will alter the seat to peg position.

Went up to 40mm (shorter links) on my '99 curvy (I'm 5'10") suit me perfect.......

As already mentioned suspension links will only increase the seat-ground height, if you are finding you legs cramped then a set of rearsets of rearset plates are the way to go.

They offer nothing more than any other ones on the market.

Sorry you are incorrect with your statement. we said we can manufacture you a custom built set for #40.00 to suit your requirements.

Hi all - thought I'd hijack one of the many dogbone related threads already out there for my question... I'm in the same position as the OP in that my 650S-Y was lowered by a previous owner and it's too low for me to ride comfortably for any great length of time.

What length of links do I need to get it back up to OE spec OR so it's comfortable? From what 'Interceptor' posted I assume 40mm from http://www.cjaccessories.co.uk/produ...cat=264&page=1 would do the trick as I'm 5'11. I can't seem to find anywhere what the OE length is.

Any advice?

CJ Accessories only sell longer and shorter suspension linkages, what you will need to do is get some OEM ones.

They cost about £15 each, you will need two, and you can buy them from any Suzuki dealer or online at Robinsons (2-3 day delivery). Alternatively have a look on Ebay or post a thread in the Wanted section on this forum.
