    dog bones

    ok so its not a GS question but it is fitted to my GS.
    i have a GSXR1100 monoshock conversion and i am looking at lowering the back end by an inch or 2. easiest way is to fit longer dogbone linkages (dont know what you guys call them that side of the world! see pic )

    need some made to my spec but cant find anyone in the UK to make them.
    anyone know who can make me a pair?

    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

    we call them dog bones as well.
    those do not look stock. need more info as lowering dog bones (also called links by some) are readily available.

      Just key 'GSXR lowering' into ebay's search and you'll find about 28,400 of them in every variety. Whether this is a good way to achieve this is debatable, but there are numerous sources.
      and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

        they are not standard, they are 20mm longer than standard but they slam the back end down like a drag bike. i need 195mm hole centres.

          i have tried that but i need a specific length and none of them seem to match. i need them made to measure as it were!
