Rear cushion rod (dog bone) length of GSX-S1000 platform

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

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

I received the links as well, but it looks like the link is almost the same length as the OEM one at its shortest setting. @k2t2 - you are right the jam nuts have to be a bit thinner and the srew has to be machined off a bit. But the max it can adjust is maybe another 5-10mm - which should help adjust the rear height by about 10-20mm. If the link goes any shorter, it will probably hit the OEM exhaust tray. I am holding off for now until I can get the thinner jam nuts sourced.

I thought about the GSXR link plates too, but they interfere with the exhaust support rod at the point where the bottom of the shock is connected. I looked around for other adjustable plates , but no luck. If you do not have the exhaust support rod (if you have after market exhaust) - the GSXR link plates are definitely worth it. This way you can use the link for its intended purpose - to lower the rear since the GSXR plates will raise the rear shock by about 10mm - which should translate to a 20mm increase in seat height.
