WANTED Fazer Thou (gen 1) dog bones (suspension linkages)
« on: 06 October 2011, 06:41:54 pm »
Ok so I had a lowering kit fitted to my gen 1 Fazer thou and stupidly lost the original dog bones  :o . Now I'm fed up of it handing like poo and want to fit an R6 shock but I need to put standard dog bones back on. Can't even find any on Ebay. If anyone has anyone they could sell me (or knows where I could get 'em cheap) please let me know. Cheers.

email me - pie dot eater at blueyonder dot co dot uk - I think I still have the originals left over from fitting my jack-up kit and would be happy to part with them.

Hi Mate
 
I have a set you can have for the cost of postage. Only thing is I am in the middle of a house move and they are in a box somewhere  :eek
Moving in a couple of weeks so if you can wait for a bit they are yours  :)
 
Cheers
Mark

I advised the OP to use original bones to take advantage of the shorter R6 shock length.   The bike needs to be lowered but not by the ridiculous amount it is at present.

Forks will also be dropped through the yokes to compensate at the front.  May slightly compromise cornering clearance but right now the bike is configured like a chopper and steers like a bouncy castle bungee'd to a shopping trolley.  :)

Mike's deffo not wrong, tho he missed out the blamange part... :D

Thanks to everyone who offered dog bones for free (Foccers are the best  :) ) I now have Pie Eater's bones (no jokes please  ;) ), and Pie Eater hopefully has enough money for a couple of pints in his account - assuming beer isn't too outrageously expensive daarn saarf...
