Bandit dog bones fit SV?
Hello i want to raise the ride height at the rear to sharpen the steering. My mate has a set of bandit dogbones for increased ride height and just wondered if these would fit. Thanks

Re: Dog Bones
If you raise the rear,do you not have to adjust the front end!

Re: Dog Bones
If it's crap over 100 you have some other problem.
They handle fine with a shock an inch longer and the forks an inch shorter. Dogbones are a poor, hacky way to raise the rear. Do it if you want but the shock is crap, the forks are worse and raising it compounds the fork problem and does god knows what to the progression of the rear linkage.

Re: Dog Bones
dont forget YC the fork off set can play a big part in rake angle not just height of tail and forks

Re: Dog Bones
Offset does not change rake... it changes trail.
Offset change from GSXR forks acts to reduce effect of increased trail. Not sure what your aprilla ones are like.
