Dog Bones

[SweetLou]

Just wondering those who have gotten the shorter dog bones to raise the rear of your kitty, where did you get them, and how much did you pay?

I think this may be a mod I would like to do when I throw in the new engine.

Thanks!

It is a mod Lou. Talk to Beekman. He can help you with how much you need to cut off. See if tricktape has them. I saw on the site a link for shorter dogbones.

Edit. They have them for the 98-04 600's so they should work for the 750 for those years as well. http://www.tricktape.com/product.asp?0=234&1=604&3=3783

I bought mine from wha. The price they have listed is $85. I also recall someone getting a set off a SVT and using them. don't quote me on that one though http://www.whaccessories.com/Suzuki%20GSX%20R.htm

Cut 3/8" from the middle the reweld them. No more then that or the spring will hit the swing-arm.

my buddy got his made of a piece of diamond plate. while i have my swingarm off, i am most likely going to get a machine shop to duplicate them. hopefully it won't be anywhere near 60 bucks or more like some others have paid.

I just went to a metal shop and said that I need one 3/8" in. shorter and they made me a new set for $10 each.

Do a search on ebay. I saw a billet set on there for $35.00

That's a great deal.

I am interested in finding longer ones to lower my Kat. Is there anyone who makes these already? I am at work right now, and a lot of sites are "forbidden".

OK... now I understand no answer to this. The links were to lowering links. DUH!!

[Court93kat]

New question.... will those same links work for a pre-'98 600? Or is something different with the dogbones?

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, the pre 98 are not a straight bone.

Yeah, I didn't think to look before, but after reviewing the fische, they are in fact different. Would changing to a 98-up swingarm change which dogbones I would need? Are they a direct swap?
