Installing Dog bones on a 05 gsxr 750 can anyone tell me when lowering it by 1 2 or 3 inchs give or take do I need to re adjust the chain. Cause everywhere I read about installing them, but nothing about adjusting the chain if need.

I don't see why you would.

or you can take note of the chain before, and if you notice excessive tension or play afterward, you know you need to adjust it....

You do know that you have to drop the front forks with installing the dogbone though right?

yea i know mine look already about half inch lower cause they are sticking out of the triple tree, but im only lowering to be safe since i am on tip toe's right now, and im 5' 6" and not tall in the legs. But im thinking hole number 2 on the bones, planning on installing them As soon as i find someone to hold the bike for me. haha

chappe

no he doesn't.. He could just drop the rear, if he doesnt care how the bike turns in. . But he doesn't HAVE to.

chappe

someone to hold the bike?... Well, before you fail let me tell you that's just gonna fail.. You can use a jack, a tire, brick, block or whatever will hot the bike with the Swing arm hanging. . Or just be a man and stay on you tip toes!
