Try www.koubalink.com I'm pretty sure that their KLX650 "Bones" will do the trick.

Find a good machinist. I have a buddy who makes them for me, he usually charges me about $40.00 bucks, but that is the buddy deal. I go shorter to make the bike turn better. Pro Circuit sell shorter ones for $80.00 I belive. MIne are nice CNC type parts. I may be able to con my buddy into making you some, just need to know how much shorter you want them.

That's the problem. I don't know how long to make them. My first try was about 5/8" extension and that lowered to the point of dragging the tire on the fender. I suppose the next set will be 3/8" extension to see if this meets my needs.
kawdude:
This weekend I made couple of these dogbones trying to test what length is needed. I believe the best one for me was to increase the stock length by .25 inches. This appeared to lower the bike by two inches. Now I need to dial in the spring.
kawdude:
With this lowering project completing, is there a process to "balance" the front and the rear suspension.
