A friend has offered to lower my SV for me. I'm going to start by using the longer dogbones (do the seat later maybe). I have no idea what they look like. Could anyone tell me what they are exactly so I know what I need to buy and where to get them. Is there a part number, make and size maybe. I was thinking of contacting Wemoto but don't know whether they do this kind of thing.
Also do I understand it right that if we put the longer dogbones in the front forks need to be dropped by 10mm? Last edited by wow; 16-03-08 at 04:01 PM. |

*bump*
Does anyone know where to get these dogbones? Are they non-bike specific things maybe? |

Liz got hers lowered by her local dealer when she bought the bike, they supplied and fitted the dogbones for her. Try your local suzuki dealer see if they can help you.

Pic below is a dogbone. Just below the rear shock. This one is standard with 20F stamped on it. Ebay is a good place to get some. To clarify, longer DB will lower the seat height. The bike will then sit lower at the back and could adversley affect the handling. I would drop the forks through the yokes. This will marginally lower the bike some more.
