Replacing the the dog bones / rear shock linkage.

Just went to install some shorter dog bones on the SV, but can't get the lower bolt out as it fouls on the frame on the exhaust / sidestand mount point.

Am I missing something obvious to make the job easy, or have I got to drop the whole assembly out to get at it?

Finally back in the saddle

Last rode on the road in around 2009 on an old 1998 Bandit 600.

​

Life kinda got in the way so sold up.

​

​

Now, my mates are all going through mid-life crisis' and dragged me in with them! I didn't really need much pursuading though.

Nice to finally have some folks to ride with too - no-one was interested when I had the Bandit.

​

Grabbed a clean 2020 650x, 5.5k miles.

​

Some bits need work where there some questionable DIY fits gone on, but otherwise great machine.
