  I just took mine off and gave it to my brother-in-law.He has a welding fab shop. He has a cnc machine that cut out a set out of 1/4" (I think?) steel and then I drilled my holes where I wanted. I have my stock back on now, but the extra set raises the rear for track days.

Dogbones 101 from the FAQ (http://forums.banditalley.net/index.php?topic=199.0) - Sadly, the pics have been lost due to the author moving away from the Bandit community and changing/deleting the address of his pics, but you can get a general idea.  IIRC, 1/4" shorter between the holes will raise the tail ~1.3-1.5" - which is generally considered the most you wanna go.
