Does anyone know the exact length of the rear cushion rod in GSX-S1000 platform? (eye to eye length)
I plan on raising the rear ride height of my Katana without fiddling with the shock length.

L7 GSXR has it's stock length at 142 mm. (part 8)

ROD SET,RR CUSHION 62600-47820

The parts catalogue shows that GSXS is fitted with a different part 😕

ROD SET,RR CUSHION 62600-31850

Yoshimura sells different length rods for GSXR at : Yoshimura product site : GSX-R1000（17-22）/GSX-R1000R（17-22） - ROD REAR CUSHION
I want to buy an adjustable link like this: GSXR1000 Adjustable Raising or Lowering Link 2009-2023 Pro-tek Suzuki GSXR-1000 | eBay with a range of 133mm - 159mm (eye to eye)

Just wondering if the length range is good enough for GSXS

GSX-S1000 shares this part with V-Storm 1050

Seems to be 140 - 141mm between the center of the eyelets (https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=32640.0)

Thanks for the link pulsar2 but, I think they are talking about the link size of V-Storm 650 which is different.

I tried to measure the link on the bike and it was around ~118mm eye to eye.

I've found a ebay seller that offers a product which might actually work:

They don't have any measurements listed but when asked, sent these pics.

Looks like the minimum possible eye to eye with this link would be ~115mm.
I've ordered one and will check if there's a way to get even lower.

Nice, I am getting one too! Would like to raise the rear just a bit as well.
