    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ok so its not a GS question but it is fitted to my GS.
i have a GSXR1100 monoshock conversion and i am looking at lowering the back end by an inch or 2. easiest way is to fit longer dogbone linkages (dont know what you guys call them that side of the world! see pic )

need some made to my spec but cant find anyone in the UK to make them.
anyone know who can make me a pair?

we call them dog bones as well.
those do not look stock. need more info as lowering dog bones (also called links by some) are readily available.
 
Just key 'GSXR lowering' into ebay's search and you'll find about 28,400 of them in every variety. Whether this is a good way to achieve this is debatable, but there are numerous sources.

they are not standard, they are 20mm longer than standard but they slam the back end down like a drag bike. i need 195mm hole centres.
