Kev, don't want to jump in but I exchanged my rear links today and I also have a brand new pair of standards at home. I have just measured the ones that I have here and can confirm that the centres are 125mm

Incidentally and this is quite remarkable, I will obviously need longer links as I'm not that tall (no sniggering at the back!) my mate had a pair of links from a Suzuki Goose and they were 8mm longer and fit perfectly and I mean perfectly, no mods at all necessary, holes exactly the same size, just links a bit longer. Measured bike with original links on and then after with the 8mm longer links and the rear has dropped about 35mm. I then dropped the forks through exactly 20mm (vernier) and I now can put the balls of my feet on the floor. Result.
