Here are pics of the dogbones. They really arent that bad other than the right side (as you sit on it) rubs on the spring and the left side has a slight angle ( kinda like / but not as sharp). Is it ok for it to be at an angle or should it be straight? Lemme know if you can hook me up with something or help me figure it out. I was going to get a metal spacer for the left side so it made the dogbone 100% straight and then space the right side out so it didnt rub the spring but I didnt know how safe it was for the dogbone to be set like that

gotcha.

i, personally, would just get a longer grade 8 bolt and a few spacers to get everything straight. doesn't look like you'd have to space it much, so i can't see any reason why you'd have any problems as long as you use good quality hardware. it's definatly best to have the dogbones straight.

ive had the same problem dude,i just spaced it out and used a structural bolt

 

[jesseunvoas]

put a collor on that bone

 

[Dudad]

I was going to do that just wanted to make sure it was safe first. Guess I know what my next purchases will be

Where can I get a couple nice strong bolts to use? I need 2, one for the lower linkage and one for where the bones bolt to the swingarm

ahem...........where can I get said bolts and nuts I need 2

 

[skr00zloose]

any good hardware store would have grade 8 bolts and nuts, even in metric sizes.

Don't skimp out....Grade 8 or better, or don't buy 'em.

 

[Candyman]

Just for the sake of general knowledge, by "or better" do you refer to grade 7 or grade 9???

 

[skr00zloose]

as far as i know, grade 8 is about as good as it gets, but then again, i don, nor have i ever, worked in that buisness.

 

[Candyman]

so then i assume grade 7 is the lower grade

 

[jesseunvoas]

yes its lower then 8 but you can get higher then 8 as well but expect tripple the price and its over kill you'll never have over 2000 lbs on the bike well i know i'll never anymore after i dumpt that bitch

I hear from my dad that autozone carries graded bolts too.....hmm
