Default rasing the sv

i have an 07 sv650s that was dropped when i bought it. i've had it for a yr and am comfy riding it now than when i bought it. i have the original links and want to put those back on since the ones i have cant be adjusted any further (so the stealorship says.) putting the original links doesnt look too complicated (or is it?) but my main problem will be raising the front forks. i dont even know how to go about it so any help will be appreciated.thanks.

ryt so the rear of the bike/the dog bones have been changed 2 lower the bike? or the front forks have been popped up threw the yokes 2 lower the bike???


if its just the dog bones then just below the riders foot rests thers a part of the frame whice is very flat and level and car axle stands go in really nice pop one either side and thats perfect for doing work like that and shock changes etc...
