Well, I have been sitting on these for too long, and finally got a couple minutes to get a couple pics of them mocked on my spare swingarm. These links are courtesy of Tmod here on the site, he machined them and had the cad plated for me. I'm kinda the guinea pig on this for him to make sure they work well enough for him to make some more to market out. I'll say this right now before anything else-Tmod is one hell of a machinist. 
Without further ado....here come the pics....
As you can see, the turnbuckles are threaded at both ends for full range of motion, and they are right/left threaded too, therefore you never have to take them off to make an adjustment, you just have to turn both links at the same time to not get anything in a bind. Jam nuts were also provided to keep the adjustment locked once done.
This upper jamnut may prove to be a bit tricky to get to once on the bike with a standard wrench. A 'crow foot' type socket may do the trick though, we'll find out once they are installed on the actual bike.
Another thing, M14x140 Black Oxide Hardened socket head bolts are what I needed to get these on since the threaded ends are about twice the thickness of the stock dogbones.
I will do my best to get them installed monday and get some more pics up, along with a bit more info on how well they turn/adjyst once installed on the bike itself.
