Does anyone happen to know the length of the stock links on a TBS? My adventurer was 7" 1/8th. and I made 2 more sets, 5.75"...too high, 6" still, chain hits BOTTOM on the frame of the bike, not on the swingarm...and after all that gearing fun (new sprockets, different chain..ect) so my question is, what is the TBS link length? an approximation is fine, but I need to make them asap, so please help!! you guys have saved my arse before, and I know you'll pull through!!
thanks guys!!

here it is so far:

Stock links for a TBird are 7" c/c I believe the sports are the same, get the extra lift from the shocky.

A little difference in the dogbones makes a big difference at the back.
I just lowered my Tbird over 2" by only increasing the distance of the holes by 1/2".

This old thread may be helpful to see how much spacing will make how much of a change at the rear (although you'll be going the other direction). http://www.triumphrat.net/showthread...light=lowering
