Sv rear height? - SV650.org

13-06-06, 02:41 PM

Can someone tell me the stock height of the curvey rear end from flour to top of the tail light, stood up and unweighted please

Trying to work out how much my Ohlins has raised the rear end so i can make the dog bones to suit

Your ohlins shouldnt have rasied it at all if its the replacement. Even so, an inch raise on the tail would not be the same in bone length.

I've extended the length of it, now my bike is 38 inches at the rear and i'm trying to work out the bone length to get the same or more raise with the ohlins wound down

Don't all run out and measure it

I would, but I don't think it'd be very useful to you

In fact, hang on... My dogbones are 100mm on the dot, if that's any use to you.

Centres. But like I said earlier, I've a sneaking suspicion I've lost some height at some point, so I'm not completely sure they're the JHS ones in there

Can't find any standards just now. How big are yours?

106mm between centres

Just got the verniers on them

I thought standard were 120mm

JHS ones are 98mm centres

It might very well by 98, quality digital caliper fielded by an idiot can give varied results.

I'm officially Calling In A Favour

One of you lazy sods with a standard bike get into the garage with a tape measure. Upright and under its own weight, height to the top of the brakelight please, me and svrash are having a willy measuring contest.

What was that ladies? Well, bigger than svrash's, anyway.
