Hi,

Got a 1988 gsxr with a 1993 750 swinger fitted.

Now I would like to raise the rear some cm.

I did this before with other bikes by fitting different dogbones, but now the dogbones are connected with a tube. So I am looking for solutions how other people solves this.

Searching the internet has not solved this puzzle, no jack up kit found.

I rather do not modify the original dogbones.

Best regards,

Jochen

This is all standard Suzuki.

The solution I now thought of is changing the bracket were the top of the rear shock is mounted.

This is bolted to the frame so could be replaced without permanent altering the bike. 

If I lower the mounting point with 2.5 cm the rear will raise with +/- the same height.

The link system is linear, I measured ;)

Hi Mrclerk,

I measured the distance between the rear axl and a fixed point on the frame.

Then I  cut the dogbones and added 2,5cm between the axl and frame and then I welded the dogbones back together.

Just measured the distance between centre to centre  of the modified dogbones and this is 19,8cm.

F.Y.I. I am now running a standard set as the raised rear with a modified K8 rear schok made the bike a bit to switchy for my liking :D
