Dog Bones, updated from 14/05/05
 

Okay, 8,000 miles alot later..... Well today I took'em off and Hammer right'd em in rust free Black.
The bike handles great all I need now is to uprate to a GSXR1000 shocker.

While I was at it I decided to take the Stock shocker off and give that a clean up too.
Then thought balls to it all and washed the whole bike, my neighbours think I nuts as it was 9.45 PM when I finished washing the bike.

Have been interested in making a set of dog bones for the SV650S to lift the rear end up 2 inches, I've seen other threads about this but with no How too, So...
How too make new Dog Bones and Fitting...

Tool's required. 17mm Spanner
14mm Spanner
Hacksaw + Blades
Electric drill
6mm drill bit (pilot hole)
12mm drill bit
File, Engineers 1/2 round *******.
2 x 12mm bolt + nuts
Elbow grease, lots off.

1 ) Slacken the two nut's on the old dog bones, using the 17 and 14mm spanner's.
2 ) Lift the bike off the ground so the rear tyre and swinging arm are free to dangle.
3 ) Remove the old dog bones,
4 ) Messure the dia of holes, orignals 12mm and are 145mm between centres, 6mm thick.
5 ) Acquire suitable material to make new Dog Bones.
6 ) Mark out between centres (I used 133mm),raised the rear 2 inches
7 ) Manufacture new dog bones. Drill 6mm pilot holes and through with the 12mm drill bit, hold together with 12mm nut and bolt.
8 ) Tide up the hawsawing with the file.
9 ) Reassemble in revers order.

Nut's removed,

I'll test ride the bike for a couple hundred miles then remove them, clean them up and Hammerite them.

I've got a set of the JHS jack up plates on my curvy, think they're ally.

Does a GSXR 1000 shock bolt straight into a pointy then?

Think you need to cut a bit out of the battery tray. but its not a hard mod to do.

So kind of similar to the SRAD shock mod I have on the curvy then.

I don't know about that but its just the oil reservoir at the top you need to make room for.

Just completed the GSXR1000 K3 Shocker MOD...
Cheers to Cloggsy for the phone help.
