Dog bone length for 750wr/ws?

[Madb]

Anyone tell me length of standard dog bones for gsxr750wr/ws on braced arm?

How much would 5mm shorter jack up the rear? The ones i made are too long. Approx 204mm centre.

Now making some.

Cheers in advance

I can have a measure up on the stock wr dog bones on Thursday if nobody pops along beforehand..

what shock you running? Std 310mm length?

[Madb]

Hi Hawky,  that would be cool if no one answers. Not standard shock, shum after market mutli adjustable italian pialoia thingy. Cant remember how the names spelt. It's bit longer but bike still sits on its ass!

[Madb]

Thank you ,Hawky. Yer a diamond.

Yippee! I'll post up pics later..

[Madb]

Just need to cut.

[Madb]

Got this far with gun practice then mate came round and got side tracked. I'll  finsh (hic) later me thinks.

[Hawky]

Happy to help !! I have a complete 1995 back end still fitted in the chassis so was also considering swapping it in to the wp?

50/50 with the idea as have got the wp with modified bottom link/bones/k8 shock and sits nice...Braced does look nicer hmmmmmmm 

[Madb]

If ya got it sorted i would leave it alone.

I do love that banana arm but it just the flexibility of it makes it a bit lively at the back so i thought I'd try the braced one for feel. It does look lush, eh.

What have ya done with your set up?

[Hawky]

May go braced then.. Worth a try if have one sat doing nowt!

I gotta order a castle nut socket for the smaller castle not the larger lock one.. Do you happen to know the part number or what suits as what I have here is a no go and too big for the wp 

[Madb]

Easy swap if ya do fancy trying. 

Castle nuts. Dont ya just love them .

I just got a set of eblag for an srad. Ya should get three diff sizes for about 15-20 pounds. Make sure they're made in england tho not china.

Mates just turned up in workshop with this so not going to touch any machinery tonight!

[Hawky]

All sorted matey cheers.... Keep that evil shite there....last time i had 2 shots of that i was in a coma for a week

[Madb]

Much better

Thanks again hawky. You fitted that braced arm yet? 

[Hawky]

LOL Fitted it in today  and noticed that zx6r g1 g2 j1 j2 std alloy dogbones slip straight on and give it 40mm lift.. (185-186 centres)

Will play with it on std dogs for now then try it at +25/30/40 when all finished as wheelbase change needs to be tested plus i run 180/60's.

Looks much nicer .. Dead easy swap aye

[Madb]

I tend to run 180/60 too. Sharpens the streering nicely. Hmmm. 185mm. Be interesting to know how it handles with them.

[Madb]

Mine dont sit like a chopper now!

[Hawky]

That looks much better

Glad you got it sorted 

[monksey]

nice ! the braced swinging arm very hard to get hold of, been looking for a while now lol 

[monksey]

also the later shock linkage with the seperate dog bones as compared to my fixed 1993 are hard to get

If you find a braced arm just use your wp bottom link knuckle and seperate dogbones to suit...you dont need the whole wr/ws dogs/bottom link to fit it in just chuck away the stock wn/wp dogbone link

[monksey]

ok thanks mate
