Raising Seat Height
 

Hello,
Ive been riding my 1st sv 650s for a few months now and ive concluded that it has been lowered in the past. does anybody know the standard rear shock length and the length of the suspension link bar (dog Bone). So i can work out what has been altered....

Many Thanks
Mattnut:)

I dont know the length, but the dog bones look exactly like that. Most after market ones dont.

standard rear shock on a curvy is 337mm centre to centre of the mounting holes, not sure about pointy version

Thanks Very Much.

Now all i need is the dog bone length!

Re: Raising Seat Height
 

quick measure in the car park says 105mm between centres on the dogbones

Re: Raising Seat Height
 

Shorter Dog bones of 102mm will raise the seat by 20 mm and the tail by 40mm apparently. I just got mine through but I haven't fitted them yet. It says in the instructions that there is only a tiny difference in the measurements required.

there's loads on offer on ebay if you have a trawl through, from about £15. Or you could get a new shock with adjustable ride height . . . . .
