Pro Circuit Dog Bones?
sdkx500:
Does anybody have any experience with the pro circuit suspension links? Can anyone explain the physics and what it does to the bike?
kawdude:
Hmmm... :D I'm wondering the same. I fired off a note procuit asking the same question. They only can be longer or shorter...nothing else can change, can it?
teamgreen500:
They "Pick-Up" the rear and GREATLY IMPROVE "turn in" in the tight stuff and on the track. My bike turns as good as most "modern" bikes AND BETTER than most 450s. No Crap!
They're worth the investment. The bike WILL sit a little higher in back. Get used to it. You're bike will loose that "Heavy" and "Sloppy" feel.
I'd, also, suggest an ACME or Pro-Circuit revalve. Both companies have A LOT of knowledge on K5s.
Go do it!

Manny,
Any thoughts on how much shorter the bones are from stock? I would thing the the centerline of the holes can be more than 1/4", but have never really had anyone take a look to see for sure.

Looks like I'll have to get a new set and we'll measure 'em! I ain't taking my scooter apart...I'm just gonna gas -n- go this coming Tuesday. I'm tired of riding my "Street-Bike"...just ain't the same...I need a K5 fix!
