Dog bones
« on: 16 March 2013, 04:28:47 pm »
Would adjustable dog bones for the FZS 600 fit the FZS 1000? There's a set being sold on here that I'd not mind picking up, if they actually worked to raise the tail on my 1000!

I raised both my 600 and 1000 by an inch, design for both was identical from what I can remember.
Here's the measurements I obtained for the 1000 as I was going to make some, ended up getting some seconds in the end for a good price.
 
It's not exactlty linear, and a few thousandths error shouldn't hurt.
There's that much slop in the bolts size to hole size already.
it doesn't require much precision.
Here's some figures based on several postings of measurements
made to raise and lower FZ1's.
The centre to centre distance between the bolt holes and the resulting
change in height.

137mm = 22.5mm
138mm = 17.4mm
139mm = 12.6mm
140mm = 8.1mm
141mm = 3.8mm
142mm = -0.2mm
143mm = -3.9mm
144mm = -7.3mm
145mm = -10.5
146mm = -13.5
147mm = -16.1
148mm = -18.5
149mm = -20.6
150mm = -22.5
151mm = -24.1
152mm = -25.4
