So, I saw a listing on eBay for these dog bones to give the bike a 25mm raise at the rear,
Advertised as 2nds, £10, well, couldn't say no to £10.
Turned up and for something that sits on the bottom of the bike and won't be seen I don't see how they can be classed as '2nds' their quality control must be unbelievable because there's not a mark on them.
Happy days! :D

Happy days punkstig!
Mine is jacked up & it turns in sharply
As part of my renovations ive now just dropped the yokes so now ive got a double whammy of skitty but sharpyness!!!
I look forward to a test ride

Dogbones are a 10 minute job with an extra pair of hands so I'll probably do them tomorrow, but for £10 I couldn't let them go by!
There was only one set available otherwise I would have posted a link!

Pardon the silly question - but what does that actually do to the handling?
-
Makes the bike turn in quicker and sharper - the wheel base is essentially shortened so you also get a bit of ground clearance

Not only that but as it puts more weight over the front I believe it changes preload and compression on the rear shock, I'm on a thou shock with spring swapped over but still on full preload and at 40mm sag (this is with the topbox and daily gear I carry for work) fingers crossed it will get me closer to the magic 35mm
