Dog bones.......again. From where? - SV650.org

11-07-06, 06:06 PM

Has anyone found an online supplier for dogbones to raise the tail on curveys?

Preferrably more than the JHS ones do.
ie. more than an inch of lift.

I need them in a bit of a hurry (hoping to fit them for this wk/end) , so if anyone has a set spare that would be ace. Not to mention extremely fortunate.

Thanks everyone!

Demon tweeks have them for under £50, nice cnc'd ones at that price. But no mention what SV they fit or how much they raise the tail. And not in stock just now anyway!

After umpteen searches of ebay, found these. £15.50 delivered. Raise by 40mm at tail, 20mm at the seat. Should do the trick.
[EDIT] Another 14 sets up for grabs from these guys, get em quick![/]

2cm doesn’t seem much … how much (or little

) do the JHS ones do??

I have spoken about dogbones before, it was recommended to make my own. Just find some suitable steel bar (supposedly homebase (or was it B&Q) do some), cut to length and drill the holes, simple and cheap!!

Yeah, that was the original plan I had too.

However, i moved from the srad shock to the ZX636 and now my homemade undertray gets scuffed by the rear wheel. I'll be using the bike on Saturday and won't have time to make them and try out different lengths. As long as these give a bit of clearance i'm happy spending £15 on them.

2cm will make a real big difference to the handling, it will deffinately make it turn sharper, and if the forks have been dropped through the yokes it might make it very twitchy

Do the side panels under the seat still fit with these ones ?

Going to get me some of that action, same problem with undertray / hugger hitting each other. I had exactly the same idea with making my own, got some steel to do it almost a year ago now and never got round to it. Ah well, for £15 it's hardly breaking the bank.

The extra lift should be just enough, not stupid high but should do what I want it to.
