How do these effect spring rate and sag setting? Does it increase suspension travel, therefore requiring a little more sag, and/or a stiffer spring?

As near as I could tell it didn't change much if anything at all except it turned a bit sharper and the back end was a little higher.

Hello everyone, brother in law owns a machine shop and I had him make me a set of 132.5 dog bones. He has made 5 sets with bearing sleeves. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Where do you measure the seat height? On the highest point back of seat or in the saddle before the tank? I forget. Mine doesn't look tall enough. Just got it, it may have been altered.

Oh yeah its several inches short looks like. My XR650L is 37" and its tall compared to this. I'll have the subframe off this afternoon to see whats up. What could make that much difference? cut spring?

May not be as bad as I thought. I just measured it. The saddle area is around 35.5 but its in the bed of my truck with the tie downs on it pulling the shocks down.

Whats the stock length on the dogbones and will the shorter ones give me some more height?

He hasn't been on in about a month.  You might want to send him a message using the My Messages section.
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?
