he will make you a set of stainles steel dog bones to any length you specify for under $20 just let him know the length you want measured center of one hole to center of the other and the diamiter hole you want (12mm). he replys very quickly to emails and has about a 3 day turn around time from payment to delivery. a pleasure to deal with.

I recieved mine yesterday. they came with a satin finish and measured within 0.4mm of the specified length. not bad for around $19
delivered. here is a picture of mine.

moderators if this needs to be moved that is fine. I am not selling these so I did not put them in the for sale section.
Just passing along some usefull information.

Pretty nice. Hell of a buy.

I wouldn't even start on a set for that money. Price of SS is up so he must have a leck of a supply of it.

SS is really over kill as they are loaded in tension not compression.

Still a great buy. Shoot he must have $6 in cost of material alone.

he just emailed me to let me know he now has his own website

that website is no longer valid. Use this one

I got a set from Adam. 32.00 shipped to me. They are not polished. Great service and communication. I told him what I needed and they were in the mail the next day with a tracking number. Awesome! Thanks Stretch160! Here is his email.

Just ordered a set. Thanks for the tip.

I have the R6 shock and made my own bones out of 1/4" steel. They work but they are way heavier than they need to be and the mild steel will eventually rust.

Looking forward to the stainless bones. I'll polish them up with the scotchbrite buffing wheel and the world will be at peace once again.


ps: by the time I hit the submit button on this post, Adam had replied to my email and was underway. Looks like a guy I can work with.

How long does it need to be for a 1.5 inch drop?

If you are going to run a R6R shock, and want the back end down by a 1 1/2", you very well might be able to just use the o.e.m. dog bones that came with the bike. Using a R6R shock to obtain o.e.m. ride height, i have been using 130 m.m. dog bones. The o.e.m. dog bones are 143 m.m., eye let to eye let. 13 more m.m.'s might just put you where you want to be, in lowering your FZ1.

I have a tracking number. Wow. That was fast.

Got the bones yesterday. They mic'd out within .1mm. Very cool. I spent about 5 minutes with the scotchbrite wheel polishing them up - they look great.

Adam was very cool to deal with, and the price was great at $32 delivered. I give this guy an A+.

[stretch160]

This guy is still making stainles steel dog bones in any length for $20

but he has a new web site now.

Thanks for the update and reminder. This is on my winter project list and I've been meaning to get it taken care of.

is this cat still fabricating?

[grommet]

go to his website linked up above; you can contact him directly there.

[stretch160]

I just ordered another set from this guy for my BMW shock mod and found his price has gone up a little. Now $25 shipped. Still pretty cheap for stainless steel dogbones.

Looks like all of the websites mentioned in this thread are no longer in operation. I just bought an R6R shock and am looking for dogbones. Anyone have this guy's e-mail address? Or know another source of custom dogbones?

[stretch160]

google
search for tkstunts.
I know he has lots of ebay listings.
just send him an email and tell him what you want.

Ouch! Hoping to find something for about a quarter of that price... Don't want to spend more for dogbones than I did for the R6 shock they'll connect to!

[grommet]

try tailgate11@gmail.com. That's the email associated with the tkstunts domain. I think that' also how I got in touch with him when I bought the bones from him.

[stretch160]

That's it tailgate11@gmail
I just got an email from him. He doesn't have a website any more but still makes dogbones. Now powdercoated instead of stainless
