Rear Suspension Raising Links in SA
I have got 4 sts of rear Suspention Raising Links for the XT660R.
R250 a set of 2. I have a set to my bike for the last 10 000 km and the ground clearence is awsome.But I do mainly off road and trail riding with my bike. These are made og high grade stainless steel and look really cool. 
These are actually silver , but my desk`s wood makes them look Gold. The black one on the Right is the standard one. 
My office no. is 021/510 6407 Andy

Hi there, Hunday
When i just got my bike (XTR) it was the first thing i did.... raise the suspension. I made mine 74cm cente to centre. I was just experimenting, so 6mm(i think, could be 5) 3CR12 Stainless flatbar with the necessary drillbit size had to do. Haven't changed it yet. Although, i did tell myself to make some proper ones, if they work. Anyone who is thinking of raising their suspension, R 250 is a really descent price. I know a guy that might be interested... he is on the forum... will let him know. I might just order a set myself. I am curious though... What did you do to your front suspension? I put the Kev type spacers in, which made it slightly higher and stiffer. There are guys thinking that you only need 15W oil? Kev warned me about the bottom chain roller. Mine was practically destroyed before i knew it. I must say that i weigh about 100kg, and i have my back-shock pre-load set to its hardest. This means that when i sit on the bike, the the top side of the chain follows a straight line directly between the 2 sprockets, putting no strain (little strain is maybe a better word) on the rubber protector/guide on the swing-arm. The only solution i found was to move the bottom chain roller... There is a hole on the chain roller bracket closer to the frame. This hole is to small for the chain roller bolt/shaft to go through. I drilled it to size and fitted a nylock nut on the back. For now it seems to be working. I am curious how you solved this problem. I am planning to fit a 2-in-1 exhaust. When you do this, i am not to sure if the bottom chain roller is still necessary???

I moved the roller 20mm forward and dropped it about 10mm, with 2 x 2mm metal brackets. One i attached undar the LH footpeg bracket and the other I used the original roller hole. I used a long 8mm bolt with a spacer between the new roller and the bracket. I tried all sorts of material , teflon , nylon , brass , and finally yellow polyurethane bushes from these 4 x 4 suspention kits you can buy at a 4x4 shop. I put a sleeve in it with 4 small roller bearigs in , and finally its lasted 3000 km so far. I have just made a batch og KLR650 lowering and raising links on request of a local bike shop. Same price R250.
