do a search on rear shock swaps or look in the F&Q section

you can lift the rear end of your bike by shortening the "dogbones" as others call it. there is a thread on banditmania on how to do it. you can find it at their FAQ under bandit 600 i think. you can lift your rear end tail as high as 30 cm. higher than that would make your centerstand useless.

thank you

Q] Lift the back end of my bike?

A] Fit a Jack up kit. Make sure you go for one that lifts the back end of the bike by about 30-35mm. If you go any higher not only will you compromise the straight line stability of the bike but your centre stand, if still fitted will not touch the ground and the side stand will be too short!  Be wary also of kits made from stainless, aluminium or which have been chromed. The tie bars are a critical part of the suspension and some materials are not strong enough for the job.

Sorry guys! What I mean was 3.0 cm. Sometimes a mere "point" means a lot! :duh:  :thanks:
