New member, just bought a mk1
Hello all,
I have just bought myself an early 1989 mk1 crm. Frame number ending in 607, so I'm guessing it's quite an early one.
Currently putting in a spare engine as the original one rattles like hell, and is leaking oil past the crankcase seals.
I have started stripping it down, and ordered new bearings for the swingarm, which just fell apart when the shaft was taken out. When checking the suspension linkage, I noticed that someone before me has made up there own set of shortened dog Bone links to raise the height of the bike.
I can easily make myself adjustable new ones using rod ends.
but can anyone tell me the original length of the standard mk1 dog bone links from hole centres.
Thanks
Rob
