Magnum 427 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi, I am new to the forum and posted this in the wrong place earlier on, I am looking for some advice I have recently purchased a Fazer 600 S2 on a '57' plate, which has been lowered. I have brought a replacement side stand, however I am struggling to find how to return it to the correct height and what other parts are required. I see that to lower it you need dogbones, however I can't see how they work and how I remove these (I can't even locate them on the bike) I have had a closer look and it has a Bitubo 160 shock absorber on it, is this an after market bolt on and will I just need to buy a standard unit? Any advice gratefully received Thanks Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ah right now thats different, av had a skelp round knockhill in something similair, the dog-bones, they are extensions to the shocky mount, haven't had to do this mod myself-I'm a 6ftr, my m8 did it on a fazer, he dropped the rear wheel to lose some of the weight and used car jack to assist, wasn't there to watch, but I'm sure some of the forum devotees have fitted these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Well, I dont mind sounding like a tw@t, I am pretty sure they're attached at the top, they will be gold'ish coloured flat plate steel objects similair to the 'fanny-bone' in the old 'operation' game you played as a youth, the one with the 'buzzy nose' (this version may have only been released for sale in Scotland, pat-pending, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
