Lust Racing dog bones for raising Tenere ES

Brandnew a few years ago, the package has never been opened.
They are supposed to make the Tenere sit a little taller for more ground clearance.
The reason I bought them was because of having to much trouble parking on the side stand if the spot wasn’t perfectly level , but eventually I found out I wasn’t reading the instructions about adjusting the ES suspension properly, once that was figured out I didn’t need different dog bones.
I paid $105 for them delivered, they are for sale for $50 shipped anywhere in the USA I prefer Paypal
If you happen to live within a couple hundred miles of Rib Lake Wi I would be happy to take a ride and deliver them or possibly even meet you somewhere.
and here are some pretty easy to understand installation instructions.

I’m surprised so far no one has expressed any interest.

Just seen this. I’ll take ‘em.

They work as advertised, I used mine for over a year, until I got the money to get springs. Biggest benefit was being able to park on the side stand a lot easier.

I have them on my Tenere and love the extra clearance they give in corners, used to deck the foot pegs on a regular basis, but now it’s fairly rare that something touches down.. also love the way the bike falls into corners more easily than with the stock link arms.

How much do they raise the bike?

It was a few years ago, but if my memory serves me right, it raises the rear by about 3/4 of an inch (20mm).

I’ve been wanting to get some of these for quite a while. Looking at my skid plate I am dragging mainly towards the back. I’m all for some additional clearance.

Centerstand raises easier also, not that it was hard before but it becomes practically a one finger operation after. Only thing to note is your sidestand might lean the bike too far for your liking. I extended my sidestand to compensate.

Installation is pretty straight forward? Bike on center stand, take weight off shock, & replace those links?

Here is a thread that does a pretty good job explaining exactly how to install Lust Dog Bones.

I recall that one of the 3 bolts that you have to undo fouled on something and was a real bugger to get out. I put the bike on it’s center stand then removed the bolt on the bottom of the shock and then the 2 bolts (one at each end of the links) but one of those 2 bolts fouled on the side stand or exhaust or something, making it very awkward to get one of them out..

You get the nut off, slide the bolt over until it gets stopped by the exhaust. Then push the inner collar out the other side. Turn the bolt has wiggle room to be removed.

Arrived today! I’ll be putting these on tomorrow. Thank you.

Let us know what you think after fitting them? I love the way my bike handles with them..

Has anyone ridden two up with these? I’m headed out for a week two up camping off the bike.

It takes about 15 minutes to change these and am contemplating swapping back to stock for the trip.

Why go back to stock? My wife regularly rides on the back of my ST, there is no issue at all, except she has to climb a little higher to get on the bike.. what is your concern about riding 2 up with these links?

Just the confirmation I needed. Will give them a shot.
