This is what I put on.

I may have used stock SV650 links at some point. I also think I fabbed some. I can't remember which worked out best for me, but I do remember that anything over about an inch and a half up in back started to cause me some problems.

Is this 1 inch up with stock front height? Or is this lower fron 1/2 inch and raise back?

[X E Ryder]

I decided not to lower the front, since the Busa tends to drag the stator cover and fairing bulge over the clutch cover, I would rather just leave it up that 1/2 inch (and may end up dragging the damn things anyway if I do a track day again).

I am tall, 6'4" and really like the slight boost in seat height from the raising bones.

Is this 1 inch up with stock front height? Or is this lower fron 1/2 inch and raise back?

I'm not sure that I understand the question. Mine was about 1.5" up in back, and lowered about 1/2" in front and it was fine.

Sorry was half asleep when I wrote that, haha. Yah was wondering if its best to keep front stock height when raiseing the rear a inch for ground clearance. So you lowered the front 1/2 a inch as well damn, ever scrap the plastic?

[Kirk]

...ever scrap the plastic?

Um, yeah. That's the lighter colored jelly bean shaped spot diagonally on the bulge in the fairing at the clutch cover area. It dragged in the blind high-speed right-hand turn 6 at PIR. But I needed the quick steering to be able to flip the bike from full lean left to full lean right in turns 7 and 8, as well as the 4/5/6 transitions. That 1/2" in the front didn't seem to make any noticable difference in cornering clearance, at least when combined with going up an inch and a half in the back. Overall, it had significantly more cornering clearance than stock.
