My modified R6 shock and dogbones from Kebab19 arrived earlier this week and I got round to fitting it yesterday. The shock and bones fitted easily and I greased all the linkage bearings whilst I was there. I went with a heavier spring than him, 700lb/ins, and dogbones that are 1mm longer at 128mm which brought the ride height to about standard, in fact probably marginally taller. I only weigh about 75kg with gear but take a pillion and hard luggage on a regular basis which is why I opted for the heavier spring.
Must say a big thank you to Kebab, his help and advice was invaluable and the work done is top notch. I'm looking forward to doing his debrix emulator fork mod next as the improved rear shows up the front end making it seem even harsher than before!
Need to set sag, test ride some more and make more adjustments but couldn't be happier with the swap so far
