Gear change rod length please? - SV650.org

Taipan · 04-12-11, 10:47 AM

Hi All
I lost the gear change rod off my naked curvey SV. I ordered a new one from Robinsons but it was too short. I assume its because my naked has Racer Supply rear sets ? So I think the SVS curvy has rear sets and the gear change rod is probably longer? So could one of you guys measure it for me. I dont mean remove it just measure the distance between the bulb parts, if you see what I mean?
Has anyone ever heard of "Race Supply" products? I cant find a website for them?
Many thanks

THINK S & N rods are different length?

Thanks. They definitely have different part numbers, but as mine has non standard rear sets on I need to work out if the SVS rod will fit. So if anyone does have a tape measure and a curvy SVS, i'd appreciate you measuring it for me please.

Yes,
I measured from the face of the locknut to the face of the opposite locknut

Excellent. That means one from a standard SVS will fit my Racer Supply (who the hell are they?) rear sets. Top man for doing that, tis greatly appreciated.
