I ordered a set today!  Can't wait to throw em on the bike!
I recieved the dog bones from Emig, and they do look to be very well made.  However, upon comparison with the stock KX500 dog bones, I am wishing that the Emig made parts had the steel bushings in the bolt holes that the factory parts have.  I am a bit concerned about the holes in the new Emig dog bones becoming oval shaped with use.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?  Am I worrying too much?  :?

I have emig bones on my KTM that have beet across country off road 3 times.  And have over 18,000 miles off road on them..  With ZERO wear...     Needless to say...  Your over thinking / worrying.

Motorrad are you running these on your motard. I understand the quicker turning shorter dog bones but  wondering if longer would be an advantage on the street.

I just installed my EMIG Racing Dog Bones.........

With the bike on the stand and the rear end unloaded I measured on the left side of the bike using the 8mm seat bolt to the center of the rear axle as reference.  I end up with an additional 10mm of height on the back end using those reference points with the EMIG Racing Dog Bones.  
I did this before/after measurement as well.  I got about 12mm additional height when I measured from the rearmost subframe bolt on the left side.

I just took the bike for a ride, and it definitely turns better with no loss of stability at higher speeds!  NICE!

If these dog bones help the bike turn do they also keep the back end on the ground when attacking whoops? I ride mx and my back end seems to kick up under braking and riding whoops is tricky. Ive been adjusting fork height and shock settings but not getting very far.

Just had a ratch through my shed and spotted the Pro Circuit dogbones I bought ages ago, been working hard and not making much money for a while now and never even got round to fitting them.
Measured them and sure enough they are 132.5mm between centres.
Recently paid for a rear subframe thats to go onto my "spare" 500 so with luck I'll have two working KX500s when I get the money to sort a few other issues on it. One road titled with supermoto wheels and the other with MX wheels.
As they are both 90 models I'm thinking I might use the road kit for one on the other bike to get it titled for the road as well.

The links are a completely different style.  KX450 link will not bolt on or be modified to be bolted on.

Contact Emig Racing.
