Lardybloke Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi, Been offered the chance of some spacers to lift the rear ride height of the standard shock, read somewhere in the Performance Bikes' set up guide that this would improve the handling. Has anyone done this and what height would you suggest adding? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf9rider Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Did this to my last YZF. I used shorter dogbones, raising rear end about 1 1/2 inches (35mm) It doesn`t really make the bike handle any better, it just makes the front end steer quicker when tipping into corners, also makes the bike more "agressive" looking. I got mine from a friend on another forum who makes them from stainless, then polishes them for you! I`m sure the FZR1000 standard size dogbones will raise the rear end the same as the stainless ones, might be cheaper than buying new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
