    the suspension should travel the same amount, even with a longer dog bone. It will just bottom out at a different height. The longer the swinger the lower it will sit for most bikes. someone feel free to correct me on this. My 250R with a plus 6 sits lower and I am wanting something to raise if up a few inches

    You honda guys have a diffrent set up than the tecate with the suspension for us it the reverse. Longer swinger = higher ride height and bigger dog bone = higher ride height!!! Remember tecates are very simple. It will sit lower when you sit on it because of the mechanical leverage since you are putting much more load on the spring. I'd like mine to site stock height maybe a bit lower then I'll crank up the spring rate for the drags so she don't squat to much. OR at least that is the plan
