Sorry about my very bad english, but i need help. I want to raise the tail of my gs500f, 'cause i started to build streetfighter. I have no idea if it is possible, but at least i going to try.
Then i would need crash gage or something to protect my bike, cause most of the time i ride like this:

i think you have to cut and weld
makes you wish we had a removeable sub frame
nice pics man
If I looped the GS my girl would kill me
when u get more pics pm me jukka! :)
Get a longer shock. The Kat shock I swapped in made the tail higher. I didn't measure how much higher for the tail, but my seat height went up by about 1+ inch. So, I guess the tail light must have been higher by 3 inches or more.
Get a shorter dog bone (OK, dog bones, since you need a pair). I made a longer dog bone to lower my seat height after putting in the Kat shock. I don't recall exactly how much shorter, but I think my rough calculation gives
increase in seat height ~= - 3 x (increase in dog bone length)
So, about 3 times in the opposite direction, i.e., longer dog bone, lower seat height. I am talking about seat height, of course. I would guess the tail height would increase by 2 or 3 times the seat height. Also keep in mind that you can only vary the dog bone so much before Bad Things [TM] happen.
My $0.02. HTH.
