Quote from: Bartjan
centre to centre distance original is about 195mm, mine are about 183mm.
i also have the B6 dogbones (which dont fit) these are 163mm and if they were 10mm longer they would probably fit, with no room left and an incredible high back-end

this is what happens when someone tries to mount the B6 dogbones (when that person didnt know they wouldnt fit  :roll: )



as you can see that is some extreme high rear end, but it wont fit as you can see here


[edit] by the way: if you raise the rear, the centre-stand will touch the chain so you would have to remove the centre-stand and use the side-standard



  Just openned my internet today, thanks for the input but I wanted to be sure of the distance, are we talking about the distance of the 2 holes on the dogbones and not the entire length of the dogbones? Secondly will that measurement fit the b 250 also? If I make them on mine besides having the rear raised, woult it stiffen the suspension/shocks? BTW got the bike without centerstands. Thanks for the inputs bro and RIDE SAFE!

those are the distances from the centre of the hole to the other centre of the hole. NOT the entire length!!
i don't know if it would also fit bandit 250, you might wanna put the bike on something so you can have the rear wheel in the air (like a centrestand does) and measure the distance yourself, that way you can also exactly define how high you want the rear to be, since your making the dogbones yourself.

i didnt notice any difference in the suspension, which would seem logical since the movement of the spring doesnt change much with the shorter dogbones.
